More Information
W32/Rbot-AQH is a network worm and IRC backdoor Trojan for the Windows
platform.
W32/Rbot-AQH connects to a pre-configured IRC server, from where it can receive
further instructions from a remote intruder.
W32/Rbot-AQH spreads to other network computers infected with: Troj/Kuang,
Troj/Sub7, Troj/NetDevil, W32/MyDoom, W32/Bagle and Troj/Optix and to other
network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities,
including: LSASS (MS04-011), RPC-DCOM (MS04-012), WKS (MS03-049)
(CAN-2003-0812), WebDav (MS03-007), IIS5SSL (MS04-011) (CAN-2003-0719), UPNP
(MS01-059), Veritas (CAN-2004-1172), Dameware (CAN-2003-1030) and ASN.1 (MS04-007).
When first run W32/Rbot-AQH copies itself to <System>\wisp.exe.
In order to start when an infected system starts, W32/Rbot-AQH creates the
following registry entries:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
MCX Update
wisp.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
MCX Update
wisp.exe
The following registry entries are also set:
