W32/Rbot-ATL is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-ATL spreads:
- to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WKS (MS03-049) (CAN-2003-0812), WINS (MS04-045), Dameware (CAN-2003-1030), MSSQL (MS02-039) (CAN-2002-0649) and PNP (MS05-039)
- to other network computers running MSSQL servers protected by weak passwords
- by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords
W32/Rbot-ATL runs continuously in the background, providing a backdoor server which allows a remote intruder to gain access and control over the computer via IRC channels. W32/Rbot-ATL is a worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
