Browse - time support is another feature within FPSE which provides users with functional web applications. Due to the way FPSE handles the processing of web forms, IIS is subject to a denial of service. By supplying malformed data to one of the FPSE functions IIS will stop responding. A restart of the service is required in order to gain normal functionality. It should be noted that the victim only requires to have FPSE installed on the web server to be vulnerable. Solution: Microsoft has released a patch which addresses this issue: Microsoft IIS 5.0: Microsoft patch Q280322_W2K_SP2_x86_en http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000platform/Patch/q280322/NT5/EN-US/Q280322_W2K_SP2_x86_en.EXE Microsoft IIS 4.0: Microsoft patch Q280322i http://download.microsoft.com/download/winntsrv40/Patch/q280322/NT4/EN-US/Q280322i.EXE credit: Discovered by eEye Digital Security <http://www.eEye.com> and posted in a Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-100) on Dec 22, 2000. reference: web page: Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-100) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms00-100.asp web page: Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-100): FAQ http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/fq00-100.asp Ben Greenbaum Director of Site Content SecurityFocus http://www.securityfocus.com
