Nessus hole report: MS/DOS device names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a Apache 2.2.3 running on an Ubuntu Feisty server (kernel
2.6.20).  I just ran a Nessus 3 scan on the system that reports a "hole":

"It was possible to freeze or reboot Windows by reading a MS/DOS device
through HTTP, using a file name like CON\CON, AUX.htm or AUX."

"Solution: upgrade your system or use a HTTP server that filters those
names out."

Could someone please point me in the correct direction to close this "hole"?

Thanks, David
