Recommended Posts

Yet another worm is on the loose and its taking advantage of the MS03-026 vulnerability.

 

Intentions of the worm

This worm tries spreads by exploiting a hole in Microsoft Windows. It instructs a remote target system to download and execute the worm from the infected host. Once running, the worm terminates and deletes the W32/Lovsan.worm.a process and applies the Microsoft patch to prevent other threats from infecting the system through the same hole. When the system clock reaches Jan 1, 2004, the worm will delete itself upon execution.
