Introduction
------------
There is a Log Manipulation vulnerability in Microsoft ISA Server 2004, which 
when exploited will enable a malicious user to manipulate the Destination 
Host parameter of the log file.

Technical Details
-----------------
By sending the following request to the server:
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: %01%02%03%04
Transfer-Encoding: whatever

We were able to insert arbitrary characters, in this case the ASCII characters
1, 2, 3 (respectively) into the Destination Host parameter of the log file.

This has been found after 3 days of running the beSTORM fuzzer at 600+ 
Sessions per Second while monitoring the ISA Server log file for problems.
