CVE-2006-1364: Microsoft ASP.NET

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 58.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Microsoft w3wp (aka w3wp.exe) does not properly handle when the AspCompat directive is not used when referencing COM components in ASP.NET, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption or crash) by repeatedly requesting each of several documents that refer to COM components, or are restricted documents located under the ASP.NET application path.

Affected products

• Microsoft ASP.NET: up to and including 1.1; version 1.1 only
