| Detailed Description |
The '/cgi-bin/visadmin.exe' CGI is installed.
OmniHTTPD is a web-server offered by Omnicron for the MS Windows platform. One of the CGI utilities it ships with and installs by default contains a bug that could, if exploited, lead to a denial of service condition on host it runs on. When the "visiadmin.exe" program is executed via CGI by issuing the request :
http://omni.server/cgi-bin/visadmin.exe?user=guest
It creates temporary files until the hard drive fills.

| Recommendation |
We are believed that this problem was fixed in the 2.0 Alpha 2 release of Omnicron OmniHTTPD. To be safe it is suggested that the visiadmin.exe program be removed from the cgi-bin directory. |
