Adore, a new Linux worm is on the loose
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

Yesterday, the SANS Institute (through its Global Incident Analysis
Center) uncovered a new worm variant (Adore) of 2 existing Linux worms
(Ramen and Lion).

DETAILS

Adore is a worm that the SANS institute originally called the Red Worm.
It
is similar to the Ramen and Lion worms. Adore scans the Internet
checking
Linux hosts to determine whether they are vulnerable to any of the
following well-known exploits: LPRng, rpc-statd, wu-ftpd and BIND. LPRng
is installed by default on Red Hat 7.0 systems. From the reports so far,
Adore appears to have started its spread on April 1.

Adore worm replaces only one system binary (ps), with a trojaned version
and moves the original to /usr/bin/adore. It installs the files in
/usr/lib/lib. It then sends an email to the following addresses:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Attempts have been made to get these addresses taken
offline, but no response so far from the provider. It attempts to send
the
following information:
 · /etc/ftpusers
 · ifconfig
 · ps -aux (using the original binary in /usr/bin/adore)
 · /root/.bash_history
 · /etc/hosts
 · /etc/shadow
Adore then runs a package called "icmp". With the options provided with
the tarball, it by default sets the port to listen too, and the packet
length to watch for. When it sees this information it then sets a
rootshell to allow connections. It also sets up a cronjob in cron daily
(which runs at 04:02 am local time) to run and remove all traces of its
existence and then reboots your system. However, it does not remove the
backdoor.

Detection:
SANS has developed a utility called adorefind that will detect the adore
files on an infected system.
adorefind  <http://www.sans.org/y2k/adorefind-0.2.0.tar.gz>
http://www.sans.org/y2k/adorefind-0.2.0.tar.gz

Removal:
As adorefind runs, it will give you the option to stop the running worm
jobs and remove the files from the filesystem.
