More Information
W32/Rbot-BPE is a network worm with IRC backdoor functionality.
W32/Rbot-BPE spreads to other network computers by exploiting common buffer overflow vulnerabilities, including: RPC-DCOM (MS04-012) and ASN.1 (MS04-007).
When first run, W32/Rbot-BPE copies itself to <System>\auditchk.exe.
The following registry entries are created to run auditchk.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Printer
<System>\auditchk.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\
Printer
<System>\auditchk.exe
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\
Printer
<System>\auditchk.exe
W32/Rbot-BPE allows a remote attacker to gain access and control over the infected computer using IRC channels.
W32/Rbot-BPE attempts to download a file from a preconfigured URL to the Windows temporary folder and execute it.
W32/Rbot-BPE sets the following registry entries:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole\
EnableDCOM
N
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
