Win32.Bagle.W@mm
( TrojanProxy.Win32.Mitglieder.ag, I-Worm.Bagle.u (KAV), WORM_BAGLE.W (TrendMicro) )| Spreading: | medium | |
| Damage: | medium | |
| Size: | 16896 | |
| Discovered: | 2004 Apr 05 |
SYMPTOMS:
- the files irun4.exe, iinj4.exe and system.exe in the Windows System folder;- the registry key HKCU\Software\DateTime;
- the registry entry HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ssgrate.exe (pointing to the irun4.exe in the Windows System folder).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
Although it appears to have been written in Assembler, this worm (like its previous versions) makes intelligent use of advanced Windows functions such as Structured Storage that simplify its code and make it rather elegant. The worm was linked with Visual Studio\'s linker and packed with UPX.It uses the backdoor installed by a previous version (Win32.Bagle.U@mm) on port 4751 to infect computers that are infected with that version. Although it provides some sort of SMTP relay, it does not send emails with its body (it is not a mass-mailer).
When run, it checks the command line for the "-del" and "-upd" arguments; "-del" uninstalls the worm and terminates the execution; "-upd" uninstalls the worm and continues the execution (this switch is used for updating).
A mutex called "imain_mutex" is used to specify/check that the virus is running.
It drops two DLL files (iinj4.exe and system.exe) in the Windows System folder; it injects the DLL iinj4.exe in the process whose thread created the window "Shell_TrayWnd" (the Explorer process); this DLL will load a few system DLL\'s and then load the DLL system.exe, which contains the actual worm. (Although iinj4.exe and system.exe have the .exe extension, they are actually DLL\'s).
The registry entry HKCU\Software\DateTime\uid is initialized to a sring of 9 random non-zero digits; the registry entry HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\run\ssgrate.exe is created to run irun4.exe (from the Windows System folder) at start-up; the registry entry HKCU\Software\DateTime\port is initialized to a random number in the range 2000 to 49999 that will be used as the port to bind the backdoor to.
The registrry entry HKCU\Software\DateTime\lnei is created when the virus is run for the second time; the presence of this entry will determine scanning the network for older versions and updating them.
A thread is created that will look (every 0.1 seconds) for processes whose names include strings from the list below, and terminate them.

If the entry HKCU\Software\DateTime\lnei entry has been found in the registry, a thread is created that will scan the network for port 4751 open and update the older Bagle version running on those computers with this version. IP\'s near the local machine\'s IP are used every 5 iterations of the loop (20% of the time); for the other 80% of iterations, random IP\'s are used (a.b.c.d, where a, b, c and d are all in the range 0 to 239).
Before starting the backdoor, a "ban list" is downloaded from the following URL\'s to ban_list.txt in the Windows System folder:
http://www.lowenbrau.ru/manager_old/images/banlist.php
http://comdat.de/kreta/banlist.php

http://die-cliquee.de/inhalt/mitglieder/foto/banlist.php
This ban list can specify IP\'s and IP ranges that the backdoor refuses connections to.
The backdoor is run on the random TCP "port" chosen before. Based on data exchanged with the client, it can do the following:
- bind the backdoor to a different port;
- udpate itself (the client uploads an executable which is dropped to the Windows folder using the name "iuplda<5 random letters except y and z>.exe" and is run with the "-upd" switch);
- uninstall the worm;
- act as an email relay; received emails will be sent to the recipient\'s DNS-resolved SMTP server; the user\'s configured DNS server or the hardcoded 217.5.97.137 DNS server is used;
- run a command specified by the client;
- download a file from a specified Internet location (to "iuplda<5 random letters except \'y\' and \'z\'>.exe" in the Windows folder) and run it;
- act as a proxy.
Removal instructions:
Manual Removal:From the Start menu, choose Run and execute the following command line (which runs the worm and asks it to uninstall itself):
irun4 -del
Now you should be able to run the Registry Editor (regedit) and remove the registry entry HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ssgrate.exe.
Automatic Removal:
Let BitDefender delete infected files.

H2 2011 E-Threat Landscape Report - Overview
Twenty years ago, a revolutionary means of electronic communication was born. It would become so popular with all ages and professions that it is still the most used data communication mechanism even today: introducing the SMS – the short message service.
Today, mobile phones are more than bulky gadgets that can move voice and messages from one point to another: they are must-have gear in a World 2.0 – so powerful and so complex, running their own operating systems and, consequently, facing their share of cyber-trouble. While the first six months of 2011 were marked by software vulnerabilities and high-profile data breaches, the second half cast the spotlight on not only a new family of malware, but also uncovered a user espionage scandal that apparently involved an array of mobile phone carriers and the controversial software vendor CarrierIQ.
The malware landscape was dominated by Trojan.Autorun.Inf and Win32.Worm.Downadup, two malicious contenders that have roots in the Windows XP era, but managed to keep their places even though operating system upgrades or applying patches would have solved security issues exploited by these pieces of malware. The top contenders for H2 2011 are Trojan.AutorunInf, Win32.Worm.Downadup, and Exploit.CplLnk.
Data breaches attributed to the Anonymous gang and its satellite hacking groups continued throughout the second half of 2011. Among the most important targets were Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Adidas, RIM, Tiroler Gebietskrankenkasse, Nexon and even the United Nations. Corporate trust also came under close scrutiny, as the DigiNotar incident in H1 2011 exposed unwary users to a massive phishing attack that used stolen digital certificates generated for high-profile institutions and government agencies such as Google, Tor, CIA and Israel’s Secret Service, the Mossad.
Social networks have also played a key role in disseminating malware and spreading fake news about the deaths of high-profile personalities such as Muammar Gaddafi or Steve Jobs. Of particular importance were the malicious campaigns built around the alleged movie of Gaddafi’s execution and the commemorative giveaway in honor of the late Steve Jobs.
