Microsoft Security Advisory (975191)

Microsoft has announced a vulnerability in the IIS FTP service.  This vulnerability allows a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the FTPd service. By sending an overly long NLST command, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges or cause the application to crash.
