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.

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.
