Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in ASP.NET, which can be exploited by malicous people to bypass the "Request Validation" security mechanism.
The "Request Validation" mechanism designed to protect against Cross-Site Scripting and SQL injection allows restricted tags when they include a NULL byte. However, this is a problem since some browsers (eg. Internet Explorer) ignore NULL bytes when parsing input, which may cause them to execute the content in the tags anyway.
Example:
<%00SCRIPT>alert(document.cookie)</SCRIPT>
The vulnerability has been reported in the ASP.Net 1.1 framework.
