Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service in IIS by sending a series of malformed requests, which cause INETINFO.EXE to fail. This is due to the handling of invalid URLs.

Recommendations For Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, consider restricting access to IIS until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, limiting the number of concurrent connections to the server may help minimize the risk of exploitation.
