The WebDav extensions (httpext.dll) for Internet Information
Server 5.0 contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to
consume all available memory on the target server by sending
many requests using the LOCK method associated to a non
existing filename.

This concern not only IIS but the entire system since the flaw can
potentially exhausts all system memory available.

Vulnerable systems: IIS 5.0 ( httpext.dll versions prior to 0.9.3940.21 )

Immune systems: IIS 5 SP2( httpext.dll version 0.9.3940.21)
