HTTP: Cobalt RAQ 4 Service.cgi Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the service.cgi script that ships with the Cobalt RAQ 4 Server Management suite. Attackers can send a malicious request that contains a long argument for the service parameter to crash the system; the system must be manually restarted.
Extended Description
RaQ is a server appliance originally developed by Cobalt. It is now distributed and maintained by Sun Microsystems. Under some circumstances, the HTTP server of a Cobalt RaQ system may crash. When a remote user places an excessively long request to the service.cgi script, the results can be unpredictable. It has been reported that a request such as http://www.example.com:81/cgi-bin/.cobalt/alert/service.cgi?service=/AAAAAAAAA...(Ax100000)...AAA will cause the HTTP server to crash.
