No, this is not a buffer over-flow. The errors you are getting are standard
DB error for not found records or illegal numbering

Subject: ASP code testing


I'm currently testing some ASP code on an e-commerce site. My question
is could this be used to execute a buffer overflow exploit?

The following URL:

http://www.asite.com/show/showsomething.asp?ID=5

Will retrieve a legitmate item from the database. By playing with the
number a bit-

http://www.asite.com/show/showsomething.asp?ID=32767

Will generate

ADODB.Field error '80020009'

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted.
Requested operation requires a current record.

But if I bump that number up to 32768 (unsigned integer limit)-

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006'

Overflow: 'cint'

/show/showsomething.asp, line x


Thanks

Dan
