Chunked encoding post vulnerability security patch
A repetitive attack using a specially malformed request may cause Internet Information Server (IIS) to use a large amount of memory, and eventually cause the service to fail. This problem can occur when the client uses the Transfer-Encoding: chunked header in its request.
NOTE: Debug symbol files are required by an administrator to do both kernel and user mode debugging, providing a method to resolve global variables and function names in the loaded executable file.
