Microsoft IIS Denial of Service
Microsoft IIS is prone to a denial of service attack when a remote attacker crafts a URL which tries to pass a script parameter that is a device name. The end result of exploiting this vulnerability is that the server will crash and a denial of service will occur.
Mitigation:
Microsoft has released a patch to address this issue.
