Vulnerability Name:

CVE-1999-1537 (CCN-2352)

Assigned:1999-07-07
Published:1999-07-07
Updated:2017-10-10
Summary:IIS 3.x and 4.x does not distinguish between pages requiring encryption and those that do not, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via SSL requests to the HTTPS port for normally unencrypted files, which will cause IIS to perform extra work to send the files over SSL.
