Microsoft IIS 5.1 Remote D.o.S Exploit by Kozan
Microsoft IIS 5.1 is vulnerable to a remote denial of service attack. The exploit is triggered by sending a specially crafted POST request to the _vti_bin directory of the vulnerable server. The exploit code was discovered by Inge Henriksen and coded by Kozan. The exploit only works on folders with Execute Permissions set to 'Scripts & Executables', such as the '_vti_bin' directory. After exploitation is finished, inetinfo.exe will be crashed.
Mitigation:
Ensure that Execute Permissions are not set to 'Scripts & Executables' for any directory on the server.
