# CVE-2022-21907

## Description

 1. This repository detects a system vulnerable to `CVE-2022-21907` (**CVSS:3.1 9.8**) and protects against this vulnerability if desired. I offer 2 powershell codes in 1 line.
 2. I propose pure python, powershell, ruby scripts and metasploit, nmap modules to attack a vulnerable IIS Web Server (perform a DOS attack to crash (blue screen) the server).

## Detection and protection

### Script

This script launch 2 online code for detection and 2 online for protection.

### Detect only (oneline)

```powershell
$ErrorActionPreference="SilentlyContinue";$_=($(Get-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\  -Name EnableTrailerSupport).EnableTrailerSupport -or $(Write-Host "Not vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190")) -and $(Write-Host "$env:computername vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190 !")
```

```powershell
$ErrorActionPreference="SilentlyContinue";$key=Get-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\  -Name EnableTrailerSupport;if($key -AND $key.EnableTrailerSupport -ne 0){echo "$env:computername vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190 !"}else{echo "Not vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190"}
```

### Detect and protect (oneline)

Run this powershell line **as administrator** to protect your computer/server.

```powershell
$ErrorActionPreference="SilentlyContinue";$_=($(Get-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\  -Name EnableTrailerSupport).EnableTrailerSupport -or $(Write-Host "Not vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190")) -and ($(Write-Host "$env:computername vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190 ! Change EnableTrailerSupport value to 0") -or $(Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\  -Name EnableTrailerSupport -Value 0))
```

```powershell
$ErrorActionPreference="SilentlyContinue";$key=Get-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\  -Name EnableTrailerSupport;if($key -AND $key.EnableTrailerSupport -ne 0){echo "$env:computername vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190 ! Change EnableTrailerSupport value to 0";Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters\  -Name EnableTrailerSupport -Value 0}else{echo "Not vulnerable to CVE-2022-2190"}
```

## Exploit: DOS - BlueScreen
