Hello,

Has anybody experienced the Symantec Corporate Edition AntiVirus stack
overflow worm in the last few weeks? We got hit with it here starting
this past Monday. Uses port 2967 on versions 10.0 and 10.1 of Corporate
Edition. We experienced a different variant of what is posted on the
Symantec site
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2006.05.25.html#


This exploit Drops two files into C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem  these files
are unsecapp32.exe and unsec.exe. It also drops ftp[1].exe in a Windows
Internet temp file.

This worm generated a tremendous traffic on our network.

I have not been able to find much information on this variant but I
noticed on SANS Internet Storm Center website there is a lot activity on
port 2967.

Thank you.
