Microsoft has released a patch for a FrontPage Server Vulnerability to address an unchecked buffer issue. This is a buffer overrun vulnerability. The vulnerability could enable an attacker to run a program of his choice on the server. The program would, at the least, have the privileges associated with a user who could log onto the server at the console, and potentially could have gain system-level privileges. The vulnerability results because of an unchecked buffer in a subcomponent of FrontPage Server Extensions called the Visual InterDev RAD Remote Deployment Support sub-component.
