Title: Microsoft IIS 5.1 Frontpage Server Extensions File Source Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
An issue in IIS has been reported which could allow for a remote attacker to reveal the source of a Frontpage Server Extension file.
Allegedly, submitting a request using '../' character sequences followed by the path to a known FPSE file, will cause the host to reveal the source of the requested file.
A request similar to the following is reported to exploit this issue:
GET /host/realtive/path/../../../webroot/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dll
Successful exploitation of this issue could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, which may assist in further attacks against the host.
Microsoft has not confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities.
* Confliciting details exist. This issue may be the result of a configuration error, although this has not been confirmed
Affected Products:
- Microsoft IIS 5.1.0
- Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition
- Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition SP1
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
