2. Mass-mailing MUGLY – WORM_MUGLY.A (Low Risk)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

WORM_MUGLY.A is a non-destructive mass-mailing worm that arrives via

email,

as an attachment. This memory-resident worm searches the infected system

for

target email addresses in files with certain extension names. However,

it avoids

sending email messages to email addresses that contain specific strings,

most of

which are related to antivirus and security companies. It runs on

Windows 95,

98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.

Upon execution, it drops a copy of itself in the Windows system folder as

the

file XXX.TMP. It also drops the following files in the Windows system

folder:

ATTACHED.ZIP - a ZIP-compressed copy of itself

WINIT.EXE - a worm that is detected by Trend Micro as WORM_SDBOT.AFE

UGLYM.JPG - a normal .JPG file

SVKP.SYS - an unpacker component used to register the SVK Protector,

which this

worm uses to unpack one of its dropped files that is compressed by SVKP

ANSMTP.DLL - a standard SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) mailing

engine

BSZIP.DLL - a standard archive engine

It creates three registry entries that allow it to automatically execute

at every system startup. In addition, it registers a standard SMTP engine

on the infected

system, which allows it to perform its mass-mailing routine.

This worm looks for target email recipients in files with the following

extensions:

ADB

ASP

DBX

DOC

HTM

HTML

PHP

SHT

TBB

TXT

WAB

However, it avoids sending email messages to addresses that contain any of

the following strings:

.gov

Adaware

Kaspersky

Lavasoft

Mcafee

Symantec

avguk

grisoft

nod32

pandasoftware

sophos
