> A new worm named W32/Nimda-A (known aliases are Nimda, Minda, Concept

> vulnerabilities to distribute itself through email.  It spreads through

> and by directly targeting machines by exploiting known IIS

> Technical Overview
> ------------------
> This worm takes advantage of two vulnerabilities, and one backdoor.  The
> worm spreads via e-mail and the web.  For the e-mail vector, it arrives
> in
> the user's inbox as a message with a variable subject line.  In the
> e-mail, there is an attachment named readme.exe.  This worm formats the
> e-mail in such a way as to take advantage of a hole in older versions of
> Internet Explorer.  Outlook mail clients use the Internet Explorer
> libraries to display HTML e-mail, so by extension Outlook and Outlook
> Express are vulnerable as well, if Internet Explorer is vulnerable.  The
> hole allows the readme.exe program to execute automatically as soon as
> the
> e-mail is previewed or read.
>
> Once it has infected a new victim, it mails copies of itself to other
> potential victims, and begins scanning for vulnerable IIS Web servers.
> When scanning for vulnerable IIS servers, it uses both the Unicode hole
> as
> well as trying the root.exe backdoor left by Code Red II.  Once it finds
> a
> vulnerable IIS server, it installs itself in such a way that visitors to
> the now-infected web site will be sent a copy of a .eml file, which is a
> copy of the e-mail that gets sent.  If the victim is using Internet
> Explorer as their browser, and they are vulnerable to the hole, they
> will
> execute the readme.exe attachment in the same way as if they had viewed
