VERSIONS
AFFECTED
DESCRIPTION
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in
BadBlue Web Server. The first issue is a directory disclosure
vulnerability, where a malicious user can discover the physical path of the Web
server files. Using the URL http://webserver.com/ext.dll returns the
message "Error opening C:\webserverpath\default.htx." The second
issue is a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, where a malicious user can simply
insert a data string of 284 bytes or more in the URL, causing the Web server to
stop responding.
VENDOR RESPONSE
The vendor, Working Resource, Inc., has released
a new version to address this issue.
