VBScript Runtime Error'800a0006'

[whitehat <whitehaat () gmail com>]

Hi List,


I'm doing Web Application PT for a website which is using IIS-4.0.
I tried giving some bigger number in the parameters of the URL, which 
lead to the following error because of exceeding the upper limit of that 
particular Datatype:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006'
Overflow:'CLng'

/....... .asp, line29

In almost all the URLs I found this issue.
I'm preparing a report advisory for this.
So I'd like to know what are the security issues related to this error.
How an attacker could be able to exploit this flaw.


Thanks in advance


Cheers,

--WHITEHAT
