FKIE_CVE-2008-6938

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2009-08-11 21:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:03
Severity
Summary
Pi3Web 2.0.3 before PL2, when installed on Windows as a desktop application and without using the Pi3Web/Conf/Intenet.pi3, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or hang) and obtain the full pathname of the server via a request to a file in the ISAPI directory that is not an executable DLL, which triggers the crash when the DLL load fails, as demonstrated using Isapi\users.txt.
