CVE-2006-1364 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Microsoft w3wp (aka w3wp.exe) does not properly handle when the AspCompat directive is not used when referencing COM components in ASP.NET, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption or crash) by repeatedly requesting each of several documents that refer to COM components, or are restricted documents located under the ASP.NET application path.. EPSS estimates a 58.74% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
