Loading vulnerability…
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability caused by the use of relative paths when locating certain system files that are executed in-process. Because the service does not securely resolve the intended trusted module path, a local attacker can place a Trojanized file in a location that is searched first and cause IIS to load the attacker-controlled file instead of the legitimate system component. This is a classic search path / uncontrolled search path issue that enables DLL side-loading or similar Trojan horse replacement behavior within the IIS process context. Successful exploitation results in execution of attacker-supplied code with elevated privileges associated with the IIS service.
