Agobot WebDAV exploit crashing patched NT4 IIS: msg#00036

Subject: Agobot WebDAV exploit crashing patched NT4 IIS

Has anyone else running NT4 & IIS had inetinfo.exe start crashing
with an access violation recently? This system has been stable for
years with no downtime except to apply the occasional MS patches.
But in the last week IIS has crashed 3 times. Looking at tcpdump
captures at the time of the last 2 crashes reveal a remote machine
trying to connect to ports 2745, 1025, 3127, 6129, and 80. 80 is the
only port that SYN-ACKs and the remote machine responds with an
50KB exploit starting with "SEARCH /". Google searches turned up
info that Agobot scans the listed ports and attempts to exploit the
WebDAV vulnerability described in MS03-007 which I applied the
patch for in 6/2003. The server had 3 MS patches applied 4/15/04, it
crashed on 5/5 and 5/8, on 5/10 I ran windows updates to make
sure it was fully patched, and it crashed again today, 5/12.
The logs do show other WebDAV exploit attempts that didn't crash
the server. Tripwire-like utilities don't show any file changes at the
times of the attacks other then the dr.watson log of the crash so
apparently the exploit attempts have not succeed.
