Hi,

After a security audit, i was asked to look into the Response Splitting
Security Issue of our webservers. I already know that i can solve it by
putting a ISA server in front of the webservers. The question is, do we need
to do that, or are there also other options to look in at?

Thanks in advance!

Rob,

Response splitting issues are result of poor coding style and lack of input
validation in the web applications running on the server. So I think if it
is possible to make sure that all the web applications are using proper
input validation on data coming from the HTTP requests you don't need to use
ISA server. If it is not for any reason possible you might need to use it.
