our honeypot systems trapped new apache worm(+trojan) in the wild. It traverses through the net, and installs itself on all vulnerable apaches it finds. No source code available yet, but I put the binaries into public
Wow, an interesting puppy. I just ran it through dasm to get the assembler dump. The executable is not even stripped, and makes an interesting read, as it gives lots of information. It looks like it was either coded by someone with little experience or in a hurry, and there are several system calls like this one: Possible reference to string: "/usr/bin/uudecode -p /tmp/.uua > /tmp/.a;killall -9 .a;chmod +x /tmp/.a;killall -9 .a;/ tmp/.a %s;exit;" I wonder how many variants of this kind of thing we'll see, but I assume most people running Apache have upgraded already.
