Internet Security Systems (ISS) X-Force has determined that Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is vulnerable to a remote Denial of Service (DoS) attack. IIS is a popular web server application for Windows NT, and comprises the majority of Windows NT based web servers. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to effectively disable vulnerable versions of IIS by causing Windows NT system to consume 100% CPU usage. The inetinfo.exe process cannot be stopped, requiring a full reboot of the server.
