Subject:      Adore Worm a little more....
To: INCIDENTS@SECURITYFOCUS.COM

This post details much of what has already been discussed around the Adore
worm with a few more details courtesy of the ARIS Analyzer service.

For more information on ARIS, please visit http://aris.securityfocus.com

This new worm called Adore (also known as the Red worm) was initially
discovered in the wild via the Incidents mailing list by users reporting a
high number of lpd scans. It was later detailed by SANS in conjunction
with further posts to the Incidents list. It is similiar to the recent
rash of linux worms that we have seen proliferate over the internet, Ramen
and more recently, Lion.

Adore scans for the following known vulnerabilities:

Multiple Vendor LPRng User-Supplied Format String Vulnerability
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1712

Wu-Ftpd Remote Format String Stack Overwrite Vulnerability
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1387

ISC Bind 8 Transaction Signatures Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2302

Multiple Linux Vendor rpc.statd Remote Format String Vulnerability
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1480

If you have been noticing a large number of scans for port 515, it is
recommended you take the necessary steps to patch the above
vulnerabilities.

In addition to the vulnerability scanning (which is automated with a
script that replaces /etc/cron.daily/0anacron), Adore will replace 'ps'
with a backdoored version and send system information and copies of the
scan logs to the email addresses {adore9000,adore9001}@sina.com and
{adore9000,adore9001}@21cn.com.

Adore Worm
http://www.sans.org/y2k/adore.htm

The ARIS Analyzer has generated a number of interesting lpd statistics
related to the Adore worm. The following information has been projected
from ARIS analyzer log data supplied by the user community directed at
port 515 (both scans and actual attacks). This data is not a complete dump
of the current database in terms of this attack but should help illustrate
the point that worm is making some pretty serious headway.

The particular log data we chose in this case originates from users across
9 different countries implementing the following IDSs; Snort, NetworkICE
BlackICE Defender,ICEpac, Cisco Secure IDS (Netranger) and ISS RealSecure.

The countries from which this data was reported from:

Victim Country         Incident Counts

United States          1798
France                 874
Austria                671
Mexico                 131
Canada                 20
United Kingdom         120
Philippines            19
Romania                16
Brazil                 11


The following IP's a sample of the attacking IP's, all of which we looked
at are Linux machines running standard default configurations.
