This particular NASL sends a variety of unicode and '..' strings followed by '/winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir+c:\\+/OG', which is consistent with this bug. Looks like even though they fixed this bug in CVS several months ago, 1.1.23 is relatively new. Hopefully RPM's for RedHat and Fedora are forthcoming. Oddly enough, this is the only NASL I've come across that seems to trigger this bug, even though I can see requests for 'GET /../../etc/passwd' in the CUPS access_log.

I'm not sure about that particular plugin, but there is an acknowledged bug in CUPS that causes it to hang when it receives an invalid URL; eg, "GET /..a HTTP/1.1". The bug is described at: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1042 and has been fixed in 1.1.23. Upgrading resolved the hangs I was experiencing.
