Re: Apache worm in the wild

Running strings on the binary amongst other things produces an ip address
(12.127.17.71) that resolves to dns-rs1.bgtmo.ip.att.net, and also:

FreeBSD 4.5 x86 / Apache/1.3.22-24 (Unix)
FreeBSD 4.5 x86 / Apache/1.3.20 (Unix)

I went ahead and touch'ed .a, .uua, and .log in /tmp and chflags to set them
immutable as I didn't see any real error handling on failed i/o operations.
Some other strings not mentioned yet are:

rm -rf /tmp/.a;cat > /tmp/.uua << __eof__;
mv /tmp/tmp /tmp/init;export PATH="/tmp";init %s

that's all i have time for at the moment.
