CVE
CVE-2002-0419
TITLE
Microsoft Internet Information Services Information disclosure vulnerability
Trust: 0.6
DESCRIPTION
Information leaks in IIS 4 through 5.1 allow remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information or more easily conduct brute force attacks via responses from the server in which (2) in certain configurations, the server IP address is provided as the realm for Basic authentication, which could reveal real IP addresses that were obscured by NAT, or (3) when NTLM authentication is used, the NetBIOS name of the server and its Windows NT domain are revealed in response to an Authorization request. NOTE: this entry originally contained a vector (1) in which the server reveals whether it supports Basic or NTLM authentication through 401 Access Denied error messages. CVE has REJECTED this vector; it is not a vulnerability because the information is already available through legitimate use, since authentication cannot proceed without specifying a scheme that is supported by both the client and the server. Microsoft IIS supports Basic and NTLM authentication. When a valid authentication request is submitted for either message with an invalid username and password, an error message will be returned. This happens even if anonymous access to the requested resource is allowed. An attacker may be able to use this information to launch further intelligent attacks against the server, or to launch a brute-force password attack against a known username
