Description |
Microsoft IIS contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. The issue is due to the presence of a default script (search.asp) of a sample site named "ExAir". If the script is called without having the proper DLL files running, it will cause the server CPU to increase to 100% usage.
