Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Baby ASP Web Server, which can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or traverse directories.
Due to an input validation error, it is possible for a malicious person to traverse directories by supplying "../" as part of the requested ressource.
It is also possible for a malicious person to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable web server by establishing multiple connections to it (app. 100 connections) from the same IP address.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.5. However, prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.51:
