Dear Trend Micro customer:
As of March 22, 2004 7:05 AM PST, TrendLabs has declared a Yellow Alert to control
the spread of WORM_NETSKY.P.
TrendLabs has received numerous infection reports of this malware spreading in the US
and Europe.
This new NETSKY variant propagates via email using its own Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) engine.
The email that it sends out has varying subjects, message bodies, and attachment file
names. It gathers email addresses from files with certain extension names.
It also has the ability to propagate via network shares by dropping copies of itself
to shared folders of the affected system.
It exploits a known vulnerability in the Internet Explorer involving the incorrect
MIME header vulnerability (MS01-020) to execute the malware when the email is read.
More information on this vulnerability is available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.mspx
TrendLabs has released the following EPS deliverables:
TMCM Outbreak Prevention Policy 99 (ATA: 7:34 AM PST)
Official Pattern Release 832 (ATA: 7:22 AM PST)
Damage Cleanup Template 296 (ETA 1 hour 45 minutes)
