Trend Mirco: "Yellow-Alert" ausgelöst: WORM_MSBLAST.A

Dringend empfohlen, den Microsoft-Patch für RPC DCOM Buffer Overflow
auf die Systeme zu spielen

(12.08.03) - Die TrendLabs von Trend Micro warnen vor einem neuen Computerwurm namens WORM_MSBLAST.A, der den so genannten RPC DCOM Buffer Overflow ausnutzt. Diese Schwachstelle erlaubt einem Angreifer den Vollzugriff auf das infizierte System, d.h. jeder (bösartige) Code kann per Fernzugriff auf dem anvisierten Rechner ausgeführt werden. Zunächst verbreitete sich der Wurm in den USA und Lateinamerika, inzwischen wurden aber auch europäische und deutsche Unternehmen befallen. WORM_MSBLAS.A infiziert Windows NT, 2000 und XP Systeme. Trend Micro erkennt den Computerwurm ab Pattern-File 604, das auf www.trendmicro.de zum Download bereit steht.

TrendLabs has received several infection reports of this new worm, mostly in the US and Latin America, which exploits the RPC DCOM BUFFER OVERFLOW, a vulnerability in a Windows Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface which allows an attacker to gain full access and execute any code on a target machine, leaving it compromised. This worm has been observed to continuously scan and send data to vulnerable systems in the network using port 135. On the following system dates, it performs a Distributed Denial Of Service attack against www.windowsupdate.com:
