A new flaw in ISS. No news actually, but it is the first time that I've
heard about an CHO:

As first reported by CNET News.com, the flaw occurs in a component of
Microsoft's Internet Information Service (IIS) software that is installed on
Web servers by default, said Marc Maiffret, chief hacking officer with eEye
Digital Security, the company that found the flaw.

"Pretty much any Web server (using Microsoft software) is basically left
vulnerable to attack," he said. "Any hacker can basically get system-level
access, which is the highest level of access on the computer," by using a
program that exploits the problem.
