Robin,

I'm pretty sure the vulnerability was there by default in IIS 4 and 5 and required a patch to fix. IIS 6 had Parent Paths turned off in default installation so the fix was built in.

Can anyone tell me which version of IIS fixed this style of vulnerability?

A few people have been talking about it recently but I've never come
across it in tests despite hitting some quite old servers. From what I
can find reading round it was IIS 4 and 5 but I'm guessing would have
been patched well before 6 came out.
