Title: Netscape Enterprise Server Web Publishing DoS Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Netscape Enterprise Server is a web server used to host
larger-scale websites. The Web Publishing feature is installed by default. This directory is accessible by remote or local users without any authentication.
A denial of service condition exists in the Netscape Enterprise Server when Web Publishing is enabled. If a remote user successfully connects to the server and submits a specially crafted command 'REVLOG / HTTP/1.0', the server will crash. This command would have to be submitted multiple times in order for the expected result.
A restart of the server would be required in order to gain normal functionality.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could assist in further attacks against the victim host.
Affected Products:
- Netscape Enterprise Server 3.0.0
