Title: Netscape Enterprise Server DoS Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Netscape Enterprise Server is a web server used to serve
larger-scale websites.
It is possible for a remote user to crash Netscape Enterprise Server. By composing a maliciously-crafted GET request composed of approx 1344 '../' character sequences the server will stop responding. This vulnerability will affect both the web services and admin service.
A restart of the server service is required in order to gain normal functionality.
It should be noted that this vulnerability would have to be exploited twice in order to experience the expected result. Netscape Enterprise Server will restore both services after the first incident.
Affected Products:
- Netscape Enterprise Server 4.1.0SP5
