I-Worm.Mydoom.aa
This worm is a modification of Mydoom.a. It spreads via the Internet as an attachment to infected emails and via the Kazaa file-sharing network.
The worm itself is a PE EXE file which is 51712 bytes in size, packed using UPX.
The worm is only activated if the user opens the archive and launches the infected file by doubling clicking on the attachment. The worm will then install itself on the system and commence its propagation routine.
The worm contains a backdoor component.
Installation
When installing, the worm copies itself under the name avpr.exe to the Windows system directory, and registers this file in the system registry:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
“Avpr”=”%System%\avpr.exe”
This ensures that the worm will be launched every time the machine is rebooted.
The worm creates a file named tcp5424.dll in the Windows system registry. This file is the backdoor component, and it is also registered in the system registry:
[HKCR\CLSID\{E6FB5E20-DE35-11CF-9C87-00AA005127ED}\InProcServer32]
“Default”=”%SysDir%\tcp5424.dll”
This ensures that the DLL will be launched as an Explorer.exe child process.
The worm creates several additional key values in the system registry to flag its presence in the system:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Ddinfect]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Ddinfect]
And also creates the unique identifier ‘My-Game’ in memory.
The worm substitutes its own file for the the standard ‘hosts’ file in the Windows directory. This means that users of infected machines will be unable to access the following domains:
avp.com
ca.com
customer.symantec.com
dispatch.mcafee.com
download.mcafee.com
f-secure.com
kaspersky.com
