More Information
W32/Rbot-GMP is a worm with IRC backdoor functionality for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-GMP spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011), WebDav (MS03-007) and ASN.1 (MS04-007) and by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.
W32/Rbot-GMP 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.
