Dear Trend Micro customer:
As of March 22, 2004 7:05 AM PST, TrendLabs has declared a Yellow Alert
to control the spread of WORM_NETSKY.P.
TrendLabs has received numerous infection reports of this malware
spreading in the US and Europe.
This new NETSKY variant propagates via email using its own Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP) engine.
The email that it sends out has varying subjects, message bodies, and
attachment file names. It gathers email addresses from files with
certain extension names.
It also has the ability to propagate via network shares by dropping
copies of itself to shared folders of the affected system.
It exploits a known vulnerability in the Internet Explorer involving the
incorrect MIME header vulnerability (MS01-020) to execute the malware
when the email is read. More information on this vulnerability is
available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.mspx
TrendLabs has released the following EPS deliverables:
TMCM Outbreak Prevention Policy 99 (ATA: 7:34 AM PST)
Official Pattern Release 832 (ATA: 7:22 AM PST)
Damage Cleanup Template 296 (ETA 1 hour 45 minutes)
