Here is a copy of postings I posted to the iis security forum I have just found this bug with our IIS 4 server and OWA The server is SP6a with the hotfix roll up applied and also the 128 bit ssl upgrade OWA is running accross 128 bit ssl I log onto OWA with an extra long user name of % characters ie %%%%%%%%% (at least 30 times) I then receive the NT username and password box if I then fill both of these with the same characters and hit return till the page times out. The result ends up with world wide web publishing service is stopped And IIS admin service stopped exchange 5.5 sp4 The iis server is separate to the exchange server I will be able give more specific info tommorrow! ie event logs, specific service packs etc I have replicated this problem 5 times now and not once has it failed to work. Is this a known problem and if not could it be exploited (apart from DOS) Andy Mcqueen (sorry about the footer it is a legal firm and is compulsory)
