BHO malware used IE vulnerability for install

Myantispyware team March 26, 2006    

BHO malware used IE vulnerability for install. Sans reported

There are several sites that have been compromised and now contain the exploit code. These sites all run the exploit code and get a file called ca.exe which in turn gets a file called calc.exe and installs it. It is calc.exe that we want to focus on briefly.

This malware installs a dll that is used as a Browser Helper Object (BHO) and also runscopies itself to directory you see below as nm32.exe and runs as a process. The malware creates the following on install:

C:\WINNT\fyt\mn32.dll
C:\WINNT\fyt\nm32.exe
C:\WINNT\fyt\~ipcfg636
C:\WINNT\fyt\~start636
C:\WINNT\fyt\~tmp636
C:\WINNT\fyt\~view636

It also creates one called sub.txt when you surf the internet and records everything that it can about where you surf and do and any information.

Anyway, please keep your eyes and ears open for any new sites exploiting this vulnerability!

Don`t forget, you can block vulnerability, only disable Active Scripting support.
