and therefore assumes that the string "w3who.dll?" in the URI is not 
encoded. Use of any valid encoding, such as "w3who%2edll?", will 
circumvent the rule.


The false negatives are known.  The rule isn't using the URI buffer
since one of the more popular available exploits (metasploit) uses
tabs as a shellcode.  HttpInspect has a bug where it accepts TAB as a
delimiter on IIS servers isn't accepted on systems vulnerable to
w3who.dll.

So, until that bug is fixed in HttpInspect, the rule can't use the URI
buffer to find the buffer overflow.


Also, the dot in the PCRE should be escaped (although a chance of 
a false negative seems low).


Yep.
