Just wanted to add that Norton Anti-Virus 2004 will detect this exploit and pop up a warning, but also fails to halt its execution or protect the user in any way.
Here is what it thinks it is: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/bloodhound.exploit.6.html So there is some measure of warning, but no real protection. At 04:35 PM 3/29/2004 +0200, Jelmer wrote:
The code used by this worm to exploit it's users at least partly is (i think) new , the vulnerability it abused has afaik not been published on eighter bugtraq or full-disclosure. possibly making it (one of?) the first worm to totally catch people offguard. It allows a mallicious person to take any action on an unsuspecting user who view's a specially prepared page's pc The known ingredient it uses is : http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Full-Disclosure/2003-08/1758.html that has gone unpatched for over 5 months now The remainder of the exploit manages to confuse this same adodb.stream object enough to make it think it's being run from a local location You can protect yourself against it by running http://ip3e83566f.speed.planet.nl/hacked-by-chinese/fix.reg I attached sample code myself to illustrate the problem, because http-equiv's was messy :) This one should be more straightforward to use Instructions : 1. unzip 2. overwrite exploit.exe with the executable you wish to run, or leave it untoched if you want to see some nice texturemapped rotation 3. upload the files to a webserver 4. view exploit.htm Tested on winxp pro all patches for the lazy ones among you can also view a demonstration here : http://ip3e83566f.speed.planet.nl/security/newone/exploit.htm
