    	This probably isn't appropriate for this list, or at
    least is more appropriate for other lists, but I'm tired (and about to
    go to sleep now that I've finally confirmed that none of my friends have
    been blown up or crushed by falling buildings) and figured the folks here
    might be likely to have seen this if anyone has.  So, has anyone seen an
    Apache server return a 200 rather than 404 (according to Apache's logs)
    in response to an attempted Code Red II exploit?  I've seen a single
    occurance of it to date, on a Solaris machine that quite regularly gets
    such attempts; all of the log entries for those other attempts (both
    before and since) had the proper 404 response code, but this particular
    one doesn't:
    
    ct740592-a.westprt1.ky.home.com - - [11/Sep/2001:12:21:28 -0400] "GET /default.ida?XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u6858%ucbd3%u7801%u9090%u9090%u8190%u00c3%u0003%u8b00%u531b%u53ff%u0078%u0000%u00=a  HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "-"
    
    	.  I've only tracked down one other example of this
    mentioned on the web, at
    <http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/Debian-Linux/199/25/6335051/>; Ian,
    who reported that incident, never figured out what caused it, either.
    
    	Could anyone who has seen this (or has a good idea of what
    it is) email me off-list?
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Sweth.
