CVE-2000-0246

Summary

CVE-2000-0246 represents a vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) 4.0 and 5.0. When a virtual directory is mapped to a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) share, IIS fails to process ISAPI (Internet Server Application Programming Interface) extensions properly. Consequently, remote attackers can exploit this issue to gain unauthorized access to the source code of ASP (Active Server Pages) and other files, a phenomenon commonly referred to as the "Virtualized UNC Share" vulnerability. This flaw, if left unaddressed, poses a significant risk to web applications running on IIS 4.0 and 5.0 servers.
