Signature Detail

SCAN: IIS Samples Scanning

This signature detects a web scan in the directory /scripts/samples/search/. On Microsoft Internet Information Services web servers, this directory often contains vulnerable scripts.

Extended Description

Windows Index Server ships with Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack; Windows Indexing Service ships with Windows 2000. An unchecked buffer resides in the 'idq.dll' ISAPI extension associated with each service. A maliciously crafted request could allow arbitrary code to run on the host in the Local System context. Note that Index Server and Indexing Service do not need to be running for an attacker to exploit this issue. Since 'idq.dll' is installed by default when IIS is installed, IIS would need to be the only service running. Note also that this vulnerability is currently being exploited by the 'Code Red' worm. In addition, all products that run affected versions of IIS are also vulnerable. **UPDATE**: An aggressive worm that actively exploits this vulnerability is believed to be in the wild.
