Description

Microsoft IIS contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to view arbitrary files outside of the web server path. The issue is due to the ISAPI filter that handles .IDQ files not applying proper sanity checks to URI requests. By appending the CiTemplate variable and specifying a file via a ../.. traversal attack, the server will display any file requested.

Classification

Attack Type: Input Manipulation

Solution

Download and install the patch (Q252463i), as it has been reported to fix this
vulnerability. It is also possible to correct the flaw by implementing the
following workaround: Configure IDQ files to use specific template files.
