More Information
W32/Rbot-BAH is a worm with backdoor functionality for the Windows platform.
W32/Rbot-BAH spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: LSASS (MS04-011) and RPC-DCOM (MS04-012) and by copying itself to network shares protected by weak passwords.
W32/Rbot-BAH 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.
When first run W32/Rbot-BAH copies itself to <Windows system folder>\scvhost2.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run scvhost2.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Generic Host Process2 System Backup
scvhost2.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Generic Host Process2 System Backup
scvhost2.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
Generic Host Process2 System Backup
scvhost2.exe
Sophos's anti-virus products include Genotype™ detection technology, which can proactively protect against new threats without requiring an update. Sophos customers have been protected against W32/Rbot-BAH (detected as W32/Rbot-FAM) since version 3.86.
