 Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2001 is a .Net Enterprise Server product that simplifies developing and managing e-business web sites. Microsoft has learned of three security vulnerabilities affecting it: 
 
-  A buffer overrun in a low-level function that performs user
   authentication. At least one web page included with MCMS 2001
   passes inputs directly to the function, thereby potentially
   providing a way for an attacker to overrun the buffer. The
   result of exploiting the vulnerability would be to either
   cause MCMS to fail, or run code in the context of the MCMS
   service (which runs as Local System).
  
-  A vulnerability resulting from the confluence of two flaws
   affecting a function that allows files to be uploaded to the
   server. The first flaw lies in how the function authenticates
   requests, and would allow any user to submit an upload request.
   The second results because it is possible to override the upload
   location; where the function should upload files to a folder that
   only privileged users can access, it can be overridden to upload
   it to a temporary folder that does allow unprivileged users to
   call it. By exploiting the two flaws in tandem, an attacker
   could upload an .ASP or other file to the server, in a location
   from which it could be executed. 
  
-  A SQL injection vulnerability affecting a function that services
   requests for image files and other resources. Exploiting the
   vulnerability could enable an attacker to run SQL commands on the
   server, which would not only allow data in the MCMS database to
   be added, changed or deleted, but also would enable the attacker
   to run operating system commands on the server.
  
 A patch is available to fix this vulnerability. Please read the
