Linux/Unix Worm Adore

Robert | at | by Robert

Thanks Robert. A new worm is spreading through the Internet affecting Linix/Unix Boxes. Adore is a worm, that spreads in Linux systems using four diffrent, known vulnerabilities already used by Ramen and Lion worms. These vulnerabilities concern BIND named, wu-ftpd, rpc.statd and lpd services. When Adore is running, it scans for vulnerable hosts from random Class B subnets on the network. If vulnerable host is found, attempts to download the main worm part from a web server located in China, in a similar way that Lion worm does.
