Zitat von Mike Johnson <mike () enoch org>:
Just to split hairs, Gimmiv is a trojan, not a worm. It's just a keylogger. It in and of itself does not spread. I have no idea why the Threatexpert blogger called it a worm, everyone else calls it a trojan. While I do not claim to be an expert, the samples I have seen with my own eyes are trojans and don't have the ability to spread. That said, it won't take much for someone to write self-replicating code exploiting this vulnerability.
It is a Trojan (a password stealer, downloader) which downloads an additional (exploit) component named "basesvc.dll" as mentioned by ThreatExpert on their blog. If you have a look at that file, it is pretty evident that it might (I haven't gotten that far with my analysis) exploit the vulnerability fixed with MS08-076 and thus may be used to spread the password stealing Trojan. _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
