DoS bug bites Microsoft's first security product | |
|
||
| Time: 09:00 EST/14:00 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
A flaw with Microsoft's first security product leaves it vulnerable to denial of service attacks. The problem arises because Microsoft's Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server's Web Proxy service doesn't handle particular requests if they exceed a certain length, causing the program to crash if its Web Publishing features are enabled. In a security notice, Microsoft admitted: "Processing such a [malformed] request would result in an access violation, which would cause the Web Proxy service to fail. This would disrupt all ingoing and outgoing Web proxy requests until the service was restarted." | ||

| All products are vulnerable to DoS attacks, it's just life, no way that you can really stop them. |

Uhh... can you read #2? The fact is, it's not FUD for this, this is real, now the fact they actually published the story shows that they are trying to get more readers by trashing MS, but nevertheless, this is still a fact of life. All server software will always be prone to DoS attacks, it's just something that is impossible to stop. |
