Re: [Full-disclosure] Question Regarding IIS 6.0 / Is this a DoS???



Dear kingcope,

It's vulnerability regardless of DoS impact, because it allows attacker
to access special DOS devices (COM1 in this case). E.g. it could be used
to read data from device attached to COM1 or prevent another application
from accessing this port (or LPT), because access to ports is exclusive.
