PROBLEM

	David   Litchfield   of   NGSSoftware    Insight    Security    Research
	[http://www.ngssoftware.com] posted in advisory [#NISR13032002] :
	

	Web Markup Language (wml) scripts files are  created  that  contain  the
	application logic. These are requested by a  web  client  from  the  web
	server using either an ISAPI filter (webplus.dll) or  a  CGI  executable
	(webplus.exe). These are known as Web+ clients. The Web+  client  passes
	this request to the Web+ plus server for dispatch.
	

	When a request is made for an

	overly long wml file an unchecked buffer is overflowed and the saved return

	address on the stack is overwritten.
