Vulnerability Name:

CCN-11149

Published:2003-01-20
Updated:2003-01-20
Summary:Multiple vendor Web servers, including Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and Apache HTTP Server, could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive configuration about the Web server using the HTTP TRACE method. On Web servers with HTTP TRACE support enabled, a remote attacker could leverage this functionality with known cross-site scripting and other Web browser vulnerabilities to obtain sensitive information about the Web server, including server cookies and authentication information. This information could then be used by the attacker to launch further attacks against the affected Web server.
