Palevo Worm Infection

[martin <martiniscool () gmail com>]

Hi All


We've just had some clients get infected with the above worm.  The
worm has definitely spread via removeable drives, but it appears to
have also spread directly between networked PC's within the same
broadcast domain.  None of our users however had admin rights on any
PC, so I'm curious what vulnerability the virus is using to spread
itself amongst our machines.

According to the link below, it's spreading via "known software weaknesses"

but it doesn't say which vulnerability/vulnerabilities.  Does anybody
have any ideas at all ?  Our Windows clients are 99% up to date, but
some of our Adobe stuff is a little behind.

Would appreciate any light anybody can shed on this, just to kill my
curiosity !!

Best Regards
M
