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.
