Summary
The w3svc.dll ISAPI filter in Front Page Server Extensions and ASP.NET for Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 does not properly handle the error condition when a long URL is provided, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) when the URL parser accesses a null pointer.
Exploit prediction
63.48% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 99.2% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
