AccordingtoSamCostelloofIDGNewsService,

“MicrosoftFriday(08/17/01) saidthatoneofitssecurityproducts,InternetSecurity

andAccelerationServer2000,hasthreedifferentsecurityholesthatcouldleadto

denialofserviceattacks.Microsofthasissuedapatchtofixallthree vulnerabilities.

TheflawsareunrelatedandaffectISAServer'sVoiceoverIPcapabilities,itsProxy

serviceandISA'serrorpagegeneration.Thefirstvulnerabilityconcernsamemory

firewall.Eachtimemalformeddataissenttothisservice,asmallamountofthe

server'smemoryisdepleted,Microsoftsaid.Ifsuchrequestsaresentfrequently

enough,theserverwouldbesloweddowntothepointofdisruptingnormaluse.

Thisproblemismitigated,however,inthattheservercanonlybeattackedifthe
