MS00-006: Microsoft IIS IDA/IDQ Multiple Vulnerabilities (uncredentialed check)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 10492

Synopsis

The remote IIS web server is missing a security patch.

Description

The remote version of IIS is affected by two vulnerabilities :

- An information disclosure issue allows a remote attacker to obtain the real pathname of the document root by requesting nonexistent files with .ida or .idq extensions.

- An argument validation issue in the WebHits component lets a remote attacker read arbitrary files on the remote server.

The path disclosure issue has been reported to affect Microsoft Index Server as well.

Solution

Microsoft released a patch for Windows 2000.
