Re: Microsoft IIS problems (Current)

I have seen a few machines where IIS has been crashing all day.  I am guessing
it is related to this idq.dll worm.  All of these machines DO have the
Q300972 patch applied to them, yet they are still crashing.

I would like to test some things (repatching, applying service packs, etc..).
Does anyone have a proof of concept exploit for this problem?

Thanks!

There appears to be a WIDE spread issue with IIS 4 and IIS 5 right now.  The
services will automatically shut down when attacked.  There is patches (old
Patches) that seem to fix the problem YET the patch says its for Microsoft
Index server (a lot of people are not running Index server, yet this patch
fixes the crashing problem.

Upon further reading of the bulletin below it say

"
Affected Software:

  a.. Microsoft Index Server 2.0
  b.. Indexing Service in Windows 2000
"

Most people will not install this if they are not running the software
listed above.  The above should have also said IIS 4 and IIS 5 are affected.

And it does if you read the technical section..
