Impact: Allow an attacker to execute code of their choice
Max Risk: Moderate
Bulletin: MS03-019

There is a flaw in the way in which nsiislog.dll processes incoming requests. A vulnerability exists because an attacker could send specially formed communications to the server that could cause IIS to stop responding to Internet requests.

Impact: Run code of attacker's choice
Max Risk: Critical
Bulletin: MS03-007

An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially formed HTTP request to a machine running Internet Information Server (IIS). The request could cause the server to fail or to execute code of the attacker?s choice. The code would run in the security context of the IIS service (which, by default, runs in the LocalSystem context).
Item 4 - Update to previous bulletin

Lead to Elevated Privileges (811493)
Released: 16 April 2003
Revised: 28 May 2003 (version 2.0)
Software: Microsoft(r) Windows NT(r) 4.0, Windows(r) 2000 and
Windows(r) XP
Impact: Local Elevation of Privilege
Max Risk: Important
Bulletin: MS03-013

There is a flaw in the way the kernel passes error messages to a debugger. A vulnerability results because an attacker could write a program to exploit this flaw and run code of their choice. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to take any action on the system including deleting data, adding accounts with administrative access, or reconfiguring the system.
