Title: Microsoft IIS MIME Header Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Due to Microsoft IIS's handling of MIME headers, a user could cause the server to stop responding.
The problem occurs when the server is preparing the MIME headers for the response to a HTTP request for a certain type of file. Under certain circumstances, a failure causing the server to stop responding may occur.
In order for this vulnerability to be successfully exploited, a user would need appropriate permissions to add content to the web server.
No further technical details are available at this time.
