DISPUTED Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), when accessed through a TCP connection with a large window size, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (network bandwidth consumption) via a Range header that specifies multiple copies of the same fragment. NOTE: the severity of this issue has been disputed by third parties, who state that the large window size required by the attack is not normally supported or configured by the server, or that a DDoS-style attack would accomplish the same goal.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Variant of the "IIS Cross-Site Scripting" vulnerability as originally discussed in MS:MS00-060 (CVE-2000-0746) allows a malicious web site operator to embed scripts in a link to a trusted site, which are returned without quoting in an error message back to the client. The client then executes those scripts in the same context as the trusted site.
