Drew's Blog: " Now, Microsoft doesn't go into too much detail about exact what the problem is (for good reasons), but System.Web, like a lot of framework libraries, has an internal class called UnsafeNativeMethods which contains P/Invoke mappings for various external helper methods. There are four methods related to session here that map to aspnet_isapi.dll:

SessionNDCloseConnection
SessionNDConnectToService
SessionNDGetBody
SessionNDMakeRequest

The unchecked buffer likely lives in one of these external methods. ....."

In a way this proves my point made a long time ago in this blog. I ask it again: Isn't anyone concerned that all this wonderful NET stuff rides on top of the same old crappy Windows API?

BBC: "The next time you install software on your computer at work, you could be facing criminal charges. This is what happened to computer technician David McOwen, when he installed a program on the PCs at DeKalb Technical College in Atlanta, Georgia, US, without first asking permission." [Scripting News]

Good intentions don't count in the legal system. Being dumb doesn't keep you out of jail. If that were the case half the criminal population would be out on the street. This guy just wasn't thinking......
