in reply to Fix ActiveState Script Maps (IIS)

While you're editing script maps, you could also fix a few of the security issues in IIS. For example Code Red worm and $DATA vulnerabilites. Add the following code after the $script_maps{'.plx'} line...
# # Protects against $DATA stream hack which gives # everyone access to your source code # $script_maps{'.pl:$DATA'} = $script_maps{'.pl'}; $script_maps{'.cgi:$DATA'} = $script_maps{'.cgi'}; $script_maps{'.plx:$DATA'} = $script_maps{'.plx'}; # # Protects against Code Red Worm by removing # the Index Server script mappings # delete $script_maps{'.ida'}; delete $script_maps{'.idq'};
