I am ASP programmer. I don't think that some buffer overflow can occur in
your case because scripting engine checks bounds of data types.
In your case somewhere is line of code like:
v = Request.QueryString("id")
i = CInt(v)
First - in this case your ids are limited to 32767 - check your data that if
this is possible.
Solution is to replace this with: i = CLng(v)  (hope all is clear here)
But I have seen this and you must check for code like this:
v = Request.QueryString("id")
Query = "Select * from table where table_id = " & v
ExecQuery(Query)
....
That is - there is no cast to integer and as parameter can be passed
anything and it is concatenated directly to Query.
You can execute something like
http://www.asite.com/show/showsomething.asp?ID=32767;Update+Salary+Set+value
+=+value*2+Where+name='Dan'
the semicolumn (;) is terminator for batch querys in sql server and ADO 2.5
and later will execute this correctly ;)

I'm currently testing some ASP code on an e-commerce site. My question
is could this be used to execute a buffer overflow exploit?

The following URL:

http://www.asite.com/show/showsomething.asp?ID=5

Will retrieve a legitmate item from the database. By playing with the
number a bit-

http://www.asite.com/show/showsomething.asp?ID=32767

Will generate

ADODB.Field error '80020009'

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted.
Requested operation requires a current record.

But if I bump that number up to 32768 (unsigned integer limit)-

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006'

Overflow: 'cint'

/show/showsomething.asp, line x


Thanks

Dan
