ISS Internet Scanner HTTP Banner Text Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Internet Scanner is a security assessment tool that probes hosts on a network for any potential security vulnerabilities.

A flaw in the parsing mechanism of ISS Internet Scanner has been reported. It is possible for a malicious host to respond with an overly long reply that will trigger a buffer overflow condition in Internet Scanner. This will result in Internet Scanner crashing and potentially executing attacker-supplied commands.
