The worm uses the RPC DCOM vulnerability to propagate. One it finds a
vulnerable system, it will spawn a shell and use it to download the actual
worm via tftp.

The name of the binary is msblast.exe. It is packed with UPX and will self
extract. The size of the binary is about 11kByte unpacked, and 6kBytes
packed:

Has anyone seen/heard of this virus propagating through email in any way?

We appear to have been infected on a network that is very heavily
firewalled from the outside, and are trying to track down possibly entry
methods the worm might have had...

Haven't heard of that.

Dial-up?

VPN?

Notebook that goes home at night or on the road, attaches to Internet or
other hostile network, then comes in and connects up to your network the
next business day?
