 That's correct. Back in 2000-2001 I reported to Microsoft that they were using SERVER_NAME variable in some of their sample application which made some site even more vulnerable. Any server variable should be considered untrusted and validated like any other user input. This is the reason why our SecureObject product as been detecting server variable usage and protecting them automatically.

Dear inge_eivind.henriksen@...llo.no,

The bug here is not in ability to spoof SERVER_NAME, because SERVER_NAME is  untrusted  data  from  Host: request header or from proxy-style HTTP request  (like in case of your example). SERVER_NAME is ALWAYS untrusted data.  The  bug  here  is  in  the way SERVER_NAME is used in error page genaration.  So,  you article should be called something like "Microsoft
IIS   error   page  access  validation  weakness".  If  any  script  use
SERVER_NAME in this way, this is vulnerability of the script itself.
