VAR-200211-0070
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:30Unknown vulnerability in the hosting process (dllhost.exe) for Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 through 5.1 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by executing an out of process application that acquires LocalSystem privileges, aka "Out of Process Privilege Elevation.". Microsoft IIS In IIS When running an application as part of a different process than Web What should be executed with the rights of the application manager System There is a design flaw that can be executed with privileges.System An arbitrary code may be executed with authority. A vulnerability has been reported for Microsoft IIS that may allow an attacker to obtain elevated privileges. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to load and execute applications on the vulnerable server with SYSTEM level privileges. This vulnerability can exploited when IIS is configured to run applications out of process by modifying the memory space of the dllhost.exe process. This vulnerability was originally described in BugTraq ID 6068. It is now being assigned its own BugTraq ID

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
