Summary
Removal
Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.
A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:
Check for the latest database updates
First, check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.
Submit a sample
After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.
Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.
Exclude a file from further scanning
If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.
Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
Technical Details
When Adore is running, it scans for vulnerable hosts from random Class B subnets on the network. If vulnerable host is found, attempts to download the main worm part from a web server located in China, in a similar way that Lion worm does.
After the worm has been downloaded to the victim machine, it is stored in to "/usr/local/bin/lib/" directory and "start.sh" is executed launching the worm.
At the start, "start.sh" replaces "/bin/ps" with trojanized version that does not show processes that are part of the worm. The original "/bin/ps" command is copied "/usr/bin/anacron".
The script also replaces "/sbin/klogd" with a version that has a backdoor. The backdoor activates when it receives a ping packet with correct size, and opens a shell in the port 65535. Orginal "klogd" will be saved to "/usr/lib/klogd.o".
The worm sends sensitive system data, including contents of the "/etc/shadow" file to four different email addresses.
Adore also creates a script file "/etc/cron.daily/0anacron". This file will be executed by the cron daemon with the next daily run. At this time, the worm will remove itself from the system and restore the original "/bin/ps". All worm related processes except the backdoor will be shut down, and the system will be restarted if "/sbin/shutdown" exists. The backdoor will start after the system has been restarted as the "/sbin/klogd" still contains the backdoor.
All four vulnerabilities have been already fixed by different Linux vendors. Further information is available at:
