More Information
W32/Rbot-BMG is an internet worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-BMG spreads to other network computers by exploiting the buffer overflow vulnerabilites LSASS
(MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012) , PNP (MS05-039), ASN.1 (MS04-007), and WKS (MS03-049) and by copying itself
to network shares protected by weak passwords.
W32/Rbot-BMG 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.
The following patches for the operating system vulnerabilities exploited by W32/Rbot-BMG can be obtained from the Microsoft website:
MS04-011
MS04-012
MS05-039
MS04-007
MS03-049
