Vulnerability from variot

The HTTP daemon in Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 8.03 and 8.03 Hotfix 1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) via a GET request containing an MS-DOS device name, as demonstrated using "prn.htm". The software supports the performance management of networks, servers, virtual environments and applications. BACKGROUND

Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold is a Microsoft Windows based network monitoring application. More information is available at

http://www.Ipswitch.com/products/whatsup/index.html

II.

The problem specifically exists in the handling of reserved DOS device names. By generating a GET request for 'prn.htm' to the HTTP daemon installed by WhatsUp Gold, the application crashes and the following Runtime Library error is displayed:

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\WhatsUp\whatsupg.exe
abnormal program termination

III. The WhatsUp Gold web server is not enabled by default.
