Two New Worms Strike Down Computer Systems, Opening Them for
Possible Criminal Activity, Reports Panda Software
News organizations CNN, ABC and The New York Times,
affected
GLENDALE, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- PandaLabs reports attacks
from two new worms, Zotob.D and IRCBot.KB, that exploit a
vulnerability in the Windows Plug and Play (PnP) service. Microsoft
recently published a
Security Bulletin, MS05-039, covering this
vulnerability. The vulnerability could allow a remote attacker take
control of the affected system. Several news organizations, like
CNN, ABC or The New York Times have been affected.
To exploit the vulnerability mentioned above, both worms generate
random IP addresses to which they try to connect through port 445,
searching for vulnerable computers. When a computer is found, they
will send instructions to download a copy of the worm by TFTP (a
simplified version of the traditional FTP protocol). They both get
installed on the systems, modifying a registry key to ensure its
execution on every system startup, and initialize a backdoor
component which is available through IRC, awaiting orders in a
specified channel, which could allow a remote attacker take control
of the system. It only spreads to systems having operating systems
Windows 2000, XP and Windows Server 2003.
Laptop Battery In addition, Zotob.D, searches for the most popular adware
programs to delete their files and directories. The visible effects
which these worms caused in the affected machines are the
repeatedly shutting down and rebooting, so that it could be very
dangerous in corporate environments.

The Kimo.A worm is highly annoying to users, as it causes computers to shut down every so often, closing sessions a few seconds after restarts and causing the system to slow down. The worm creates an Autorun.inf file in each mapped drive of the computer. This allows it to run every time a user double clicks on the drive. In addition, click menu options, the worm will run.
