HTTP: IIS WebDAV Request Source Code Disclosure

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft IIS Webdav. Attackers can use this vulnerability to disclose information.

Extended Description

Microsoft IIS is reportedly affected by a remote script source disclosure vulnerability. A successful attack causes the Web server to present the requested file as a plain text file and subsequently disclosing the source. It should be noted that this issue only presents itself when the requested files are stored on a FAT or FAT32 volume and does not arise if the script files are stored on a NTFS volume. Microsoft IIS 5.1 is vulnerable to this issue.
