HTTP: Microsoft IIS UNC Path Disclosure Vulnerability
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft IIS. Attackers can bypass security restrictions and obtain the real pathname of the document root by requesting non-existent files with .ida, .idq or .htx extensions.
