Microsoft Security Bulletin Description

From Microsoft: Who should read this bulletin: Customers operating web servers running ASP.NET applications. Impact of vulnerability: Denial of Service, Potentially Run Code of Attacker's Choice. Maximum Severity Rating: Moderate Recommendation: Customers using StateServer mode should apply the patch. Customers who do not use StateServer mode need not take any action. Affected Software: Microsoft .NET Framework version 1.0, of which ASP.NET is a component. When working with Microsoft ASP.NET, a component of the Microsoft .NET Framework provides for session state management through a variety of modes. One such mode, called StateServer, stores session state information in a separate running process that can run on either the same machine as the ASP.NET-based application or on a different machine. An unchecked buffer in one of the routines handles the processing of cookies in StateServer mode, resulting in a security vulnerability.
