Microsoft w3wp (aka w3wp.exe) does not properly handle when the AspCompat directive is not used when referencing COM components in ASP.NET, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption or crash) by repeatedly requesting each of several documents that refer to COM components, or are restricted documents located under the ASP.NET application path.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Microsoft ASP.NET (.Net) 1.0 and 1.1 to SP1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or web script via Unicode representations for ASCII fullwidth characters that are converted to normal ASCII characters, including ">" and "<".

The Microsoft .NET forms authentication capability for ASP.NET allows remote attackers to bypass authentication for .aspx files in restricted directories via a request containing a (1) "\" (backslash) or (2) "%5C" (encoded backslash), aka "Path Validation Vulnerability."
