VAR-200005-0005

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:26

Microsoft IIS 4.0 and 5.0 with the IISADMPWD virtual directory installed allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a malformed request to the inetinfo.exe program, aka the "Undelimited .HTR Request" vulnerability. The virtual directory within IIS 4.0 and 5.0 contains .htr files which permits users to change passwords remotely. If a user initiates a password change request containing malformed data, the server CPU becomes fully utilized until the administrator performs a reboot to regain normal functionality. The patch available for this issue creates a similar vulnerability which is exploited by appending %3F+.htr to a request
