Netscape Fasttrack Root Directory Listing Vulnerability
Netscape's Fasttrack server is supposed to display a directory listing if the follwing three conditions are met:
1: Directory listing is enabled
2: No filename is specified in the requested URL
3: There is no index file in that directory (defaults are index.html and home.html)
However, even with an index file in the directory, if you telnet to the httpd port and type 'get/' you will get a directory listing of the root directory.
