Overview

This is a virus detection. Viruses are programs that self-replicate recursively, meaning that infected systems spread the virus to other systems, which then propagate the virus further. While many viruses contain a destructive payload, it's quite common for viruses to do nothing more than spread from one system to another.

Aliases

• PE_BAGLE.P (Trend)

• W32.Beagle.N@mm (NAV)

• W32/Bagle-O (Sophos)

• W32/Bagle.p (parasitically infected files)

Characteristics

-- Update 13th April, 2004--
This threat has been downgraded to Low-Profiled risk due to a decrease in prevalence.

-- Update 15th March, 2004--
This threat has been upgraded to Medium risk due to prevalence

-- Update 15th March, 2004--
This threat is considered to be a Low-Profiled risk due to media attention at: http://news.com.com/2100%2D7355%2D5173129.html

This Bagle variant is bears the following characteristics:

• contains its own SMTP engine to construct outgoing messages
• harvests email addresses from the victim machine
• the From: address of messages is spoofed
• contains a remote access component (notification is sent to hacker)
• copies itself to folders that have the phrase shar in the name (such as common peer-to-peer applications; KaZaa, Bearshare, Limewire, etc)
• encrypted polymorphic parasitic file infector

Proactive Detection

This virus is detected as a trojan or variant New Malware.b when scanning with the 4335 DATs or greater, with program heuristics and the scanning of compressed files enabled.

Parasitically infected files, are detected as virus or variant W32/Bagle.n with the 4337 DATs or greater.

Mail Propagation

The message-bodies are constructed very similarly to those for its predecessor, using several parts, to effectively customize the email, to make it appear to be a legitimate warning notification. The details are as follows:

From : (the address may be spoofed, using the recipient's domain name and a user name taken from the following list, or another address found on the local system)

• management@
• administration@
• staff@
• noreply@
• support@ 
• antivirus@
• antispam@

Parasitic File Infection

The worm searches the local drives for *.EXE files and appends them with its own encrypted code. The infected file sizes increases by approximately 45KB. The date stamp for these files are updated as well.

After Dec 31, 2005, the worm deactivates itself by deleting its registry run key.

Symptoms

Method of Infection

Mail Propagation

This virus constructs messages using its own SMTP engine. Target email addresses are harvested from files with the following extensions on the victim machine:

• .wab
• .txt
• .msg
• .htm
• .shtm
• .stm
• .xml
• .dbx
• .mbx
• .mdx
• .eml
• .nch
• .mmf
• .ods
• .cfg
• .asp
• .php
• .pl
• .wsh
• .adb
• .tbb
• .sht
• .xls
• .oft
• .uin
• .cgi
• .mht
• .dhtm
• .jsp

The virus avoids sending itself to addresses containing the following strings:

• @hotmail.com
• @msn
• @microsoft
• anyone@
• bugs@
• contract@
• feste
• gold-certs@
• help@
• info@
• nobody@
• noone@

• abuse
• panda
• cafee
• spam
• pgp
• @avp.
• noreply
• local
• root@
• postmaster@
• f-secur

Peer-to-Peer propagation

Files are created in folders that contain the phrase shar :

• Microsoft Office 2003 Crack, Working!.exe
• Microsoft Windows XP, WinXP Crack, working Keygen.exe
• Microsoft Office XP working Crack, Keygen.exe
• Porno, sex, oral, anal cool, awesome!!.exe
• Porno Screensaver.scr
• Serials.txt.exe
• Porno pics arhive, xxx.exe
• Windows Sourcecode update.doc.exe
• Ahead Nero 7.exe
• Windown Longhorn Beta Leak.exe
• Opera 8 New!.exe
• XXX hardcore images.exe
• WinAmp 6 New!.exe
• WinAmp 5 Pro Keygen Crack Update.exe
• Adobe Photoshop 9 full.exe
• Matrix 3 Revolution English Subtitles.exe
• ACDSee 9.exe

Removal

All Users
Use specified engine and DAT files (or later) for detection and removal.

Modifications made to the system Registry and/or INI files for the purposes of hooking system startup, will be successfully removed if cleaning with the recommended engine and DAT combination (or higher).

Additional Windows ME/XP removal considerations

Stinger
Stinger has been updated to assist in detecting and repairing this threat.

McAfee Threatscan
ThreatScan signatures that can detect the W32/Bagle.p@MM virus are available from:

• Threatscan 2.5 - < ftp.nai.com/pub/security/tsc25/updates/winnt >
• Threatscan 2.0/2.1 - < ftp.nai.com/pub/security/tsc20/updates/winnt >

ThreatScan Signature version: 2004-03-15

ThreatScan users can detect the virus by running a ThreatScan task using the following settings:

• Select the "Remote Infection Detection" category and "Windows Virus Checks" template.

-or-

• Select the "Other" category and "Scan All Vulnerabilities" template.

For additional information:

Run the "ThreatScan Template Report"
Look for module number #4071

McAfee Desktop Firewall
To prevent possible remote access McAfee Desktop Firewall users can block incoming TCP port 2556.

SnifferŽ Technologies
Since this is a mass mailing virus only and does not have any remote component; due to changing offset for subject mail from and the attachments for the emails mentioned in the virus, we cannot create a Sniffer filter for this virus.
Recommendation for customers:

1) Create a capture profile with Capture on only SMTP traffic.
2) Analyze the traffic for Subject, Mail To, and Attachments in the Decode mentioned in this description to identify if there is a virus propagating from specific IP's.

SnifferŽ Technologies
Since this is a mass mailing virus only and does not have any remote component; due to changing offset for subject mail from and the attachments for the emails mentioned in the virus, we cannot create a Sniffer filter for this virus.
Recommendation for customers:

1) Create a capture profile with Capture on only SMTP traffic.
2) Analyze the traffic for Subject, Mail To, and Attachments in the Decode mentioned in this description to identify if there is a virus propagating from specific IP's.
