Hi all.

Recently I received some mails in english language. The writer (who pretends being security () microsoft com, but the header says "Sender: admin () duma gov ru") generously sends a patch along with his mail which should be applied in order to fix a security bug... ha ha.
Most likely a known virus, W32/Dumaru-A.   If what you have there *doesnt*
match that one, give us another buzz....

As Vladis pointed out, the mail seems to be result of a W32/Dumaru@mm-variant. Another fd-reader pointed to W32/Dumaru.B@mm as well.

Symantec currently lists two variants of W32/Dumaru:

1. W32/Dumaru@mm, having an attachment with 9216 bytes
2. W32/Dumaru.b@mm, having an attachment with 34304 bytes

However, the mails I received (at least five of them) have an attachment with 9276 byte. Either Symantec has a typo at their site, or this could be a new variant.

As there were many people asking me to send them the binary, I decided to put the file and a copy of the mail on my webserver. To be found at http://www.otaku42.de/download/dumaru/index.html

Bye, Mike
