Title: NT Index Server Remote Registry Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
During installation of Microsoft Index Server 2.0 a new registry entry is created and added to the list of network-available subkeys. This list is found at: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\Winreg\AllowedPaths
The added subkey is HKLM\System\CurrentControlset\Control\ContentIndex\Catalogs. What this does is allow an intruder to gather information about the physical structure of paths and sirectories being indexed, and in the case of remote indexing also the machine name and the account used.
Affected Products:
- Microsoft IIS 4.0
- Microsoft Index Server 2.0
