IIS

Wazup,

I'm a security analyst for a company here in brazil and I noticed something 
odd, so I was wondering if anyone else had this problem aswell and how was it 
solved.
The company I work for were running IIS 5.0 SP1 with all patches applied (all 
3 billion of them hahaaha)
And everything was running smoothly untill they decided to install SP2.
At first all I noticed was that some patches were removed, so I told them to 
re-apply those patches missing.
The wierd thing was that when they tried to apply the missing patches a pop 
up error message came up saying that they were not allowed to install patches 
before the SP2.
I've contacted microsoft but the reply was "READ TECHNET" (in other words 
they didn't have a clue on what to do). 

BY D WAY MICROSOFT I DIDN'T FIND A THING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN TECHNET.

So people beware...

The main vulnerabilities that I found after they installed SP2 were:

-Shtml.exe Denial of Service
-Internet Printing Buffer Overflow

Peace in the middle east
