Hello Russian friend,

This is an interesting thought. As you see in the exception
And in the exception backtrace of IIS it tries to access \\.\AUX
Or other special device names. Normally this is blocked by a
C# method which checks the path (for example /AUX.aspx is blocked).


Best Regards,

Kingcope

Dear kingcope,

It's  vulnerability regardless of DoS impact, because it allows attacker
to access special DOS devices (COM1 in this case). E.g. it could be used
to read data from device attached to COM1 or prevent another application
>from accessing this port (or LPT), because access to ports is exclusive.
