Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft .NET Framework, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the way ASP .NET manages request scheduling when used in combination with IIS (Internet Information Services) 7.0. This can be exploited via a specially crafted HTTP request to cause an affected web server to stop responding until restarted.
Successful exploitation requires that IIS 7.0 is installed and ASP.NET is configured to use integrated mode. Systems running ASP.NET on IIS 7.0 in classic mode are not affected.
NOTE: According to Microsoft, the vulnerability is already being exploited on a limited scale.
