3com switches false positives

Subject: 3com switches false positives
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 17:19:21 -0400 (EDT)
We've enabled the following signatures for a limited scan that's constantly running of subnets on our campus:

      * 10343 - MySQL accepts any password
      * 10673 - Microsoft's SQL Blank Password
      * 11412 - IIS : WebDAV Overflow (MS03-007)
      * 11808 - MS Windows RPC buffer overrun
      * 11835 - MS Windows RPC buffer overrun
      * 11841 - sadmind command execution
      * 12080 - FTP Serv-U Server MDTM Stack Overflow Vulnerability
      * 12204 - Microsoft Hotfix for KB835732 IIS SSL check
      * 12638 - DistCC Detection
      * 16232 - VERITAS Backup Exec Agent Browser Remote BO Vulnerability
      * 16326 - SMB remote code execution
      * 16390 - BrightStor ARCserve/Enterprise Backup Default Account

We've been experiencing a large number of false positives for ID 11412 on 3com switches that's got me confused. As far as I can tell, the following nasl could should skip any non-IIS servers:

-----snip from iis_webdav_overflow.nasl------
port = get_http_port(default:80);

sig = get_kb_item("www/hmap/" + port + "/description");
if ( sig && "IIS" >!< sig ) exit(0);
-----snip from iis_webdav_overflow.nasl------

It's apparently not working. Here's a sample transaction with one of those switches that shows it definitely isn't running IIS:

$  echo -e 'GET / HTTP/1.0\nHOST: 10.227.141.240\n\n'|nc 10.aa.bb.cc 80
HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Server: 3Com/v1.0
WWW-Authenticate:Basic realm="device"

We've had it happen on a half dozen switches around campus now. Any ideas?
