S-173: Vulnerability in Internet Information Services
A local elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Internet Information Service handles file change notifications in the FTPRoot, NNTPFile/Root, and WWWRoot folders. The risk is MEDIUM. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code in the context of the local system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.
