ISAPI filter to block requests for URLs with MS-DOS device names

$

Hi all.

I have a web application that was under audit and the result said I have to create a ISAPI filter to block requests for URLs with MS-DOS device names to avoid an attack by DoS.

The message is: "The web server running on the remote host appears to be using Microsoft ASP.NET, and may be affected by a denial of service vulnerability. Requesting a URL containing an MS-DOS device name can cause the web server to become temporarily unresponsive. An attacker could repeatedly request these URLs, resulting in a denial of service."

Could you help me in this thread?

I'm using IIS 7.5.

thanks in advance,

Daniel Costa
