MyDoom.AB
| |
| NAME: | .Mydoom.y, W32/Mydoom.AB@mm |
| SIZE: | 69632 |
Summary
A new variant of MyDoom worm - Mydoom.AB, was found on September
16th, 2004. This worm variant is similar to previous variants.
It spreads in e-mails with different subject and body texts, downloads and
activates a backdoor.
Additional Details
The worm is a PE executable file 69632 bytes long packed with UPX
file compressor. The unpacked file's size is over 180 KiB.
Installation to system
When run, the worm copies creates a mutex 'ertglddfgd', copies
itself to Windows System Directory with a filename picked from:
smss.exe
csrss.exe
winlogon.exe
services.exe
and sets a startup key for that file in System Registry:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Win32System]
Spreading in e-mails
The worm spreads by sending its infected attachment to all e-mail
addresses found on an infected computer. The worm looks for
e-mail addresses in Windows Address Book and in the files with
the following extensions:
wab
xls
uin
txt
tbb
stm
sht
php
msg
mht
mbx
jsp
htm
eml
dht
dbx
cgi
cfg
asp

any of the following substrings:
avp.
syman
icrosof
panda
sopho
borlan
inpris
