Microsoft has warned users of its IIS server software of another raft of vulnerabilities.
The flaw could allow hackers to control websites, steal information or launch a denial-of-service (DOS) attack.
The versions affected by the buffer overflow flaw are IIS 4 and 5 which are running on the millennium edition and NT4.
Buffer overflow flaws occur when software cannot handle multiple identical repeat commands. These cause the code to crash, and allow a malicious hacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability was uncovered by US security consultant Riley Hassell at eEye Digital Security.
