Russ,
I thought the list would be very interested in recent happenings at
my ISP, as they seem to point to a new security hole in IIS 5 on Win2k
Servers.
As of yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, September 2), I noticed that
index pages on sites I host at a nationally-known hosting provider began to
produce some errors and unanticipated behavior. Upon further investigation,
and a call to my provider, I discovered that the servers in question add a
single iframe tag as a footer when serving certain pages via HTTP. This
footer points to an ASP script hosted elsewhere. (Unfortunately, I was not
able to pull down a copy of the script before my provider axed it.)
Note that this code has not been added to the source of the pages
themselves: it is simply served as an additional tag when the server
fulfills HTTP requests.
IMHO, this is an extremely serious issue. To their credit, my ISP is
working with Microsoft to produce a patch for this issue, though as of this
writing I still have no ETA for installation of the forthcoming patch.
