CVE-2007-2897: Microsoft Internet Information Server

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 74% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server instability or device hang), and possibly obtain sensitive information (device communication traffic); and might allow attackers with physical access to execute arbitrary code after connecting a data stream to a device COM port; via requests for a URI containing a '/' immediately before and after the name of a DOS device, as demonstrated by the /AUX/.aspx URI, which bypasses a blacklist for DOS device requests.

Affected products

• Microsoft Internet Information Server: version 6.0 only
