AusCERT Week in Review
10 August 2007

Greetings,

For those following the Storm malware activity, we've noticed that the
attackers have made some slight tweaks to the propagation spam. They now
reference 123greetings.com, Greetings-Cards.com, vintagegreetings.com and
many others for example, it now uses a subject line in the form of:

 "School mate sent you a greeting card from 123greetings.com!"

Also, bleeding edge threats has the following snort rule for the down loader:

http://www.bleedingthreats.net/index.php/2007/07/19/storm-worm-signature/?s=sto
rm

If anyone has developed a snort signature for the detection of the subsequent
UDP C&C traffic generated by an infected system, we'd be interested in seeing 
it.


This week saw the start of the Chaos Communication Camp 2007, the annual camp
run by the Chaos Computer Club. This camp has been allocated a IP address
range, so administrators may wish to see if they are seeing any "interesting"
traffic from the 81.163.0.0/16 address range:

 IP range     :    81.163.0.0 - 81.163.255.255
 Network name :    TEMPORARY-CCC-CAMP-NET
 Infos        :    Chaos Computer Club Veranstaltungsgesellschaft mbH
 Infos        :    This network is set aside for various
 Country      :    Germany (DE)
 Abuse E-mail :    cpunkt at ccc.de
 Source       :    RIPE


Finally, for sites running the Bind name server, you may be interested that
this week saw the official end of life announcement of Bind8:

http://marc.info/?l=bind-announce&m=118670081707688&w=2

Also, there has been the public release of a proof of concept for the BIND 9
DNS Cache Poisoning vulnerability to milw0rm. We have not verified this exploit
as functional, but even if it is not, administrators are urged to patch their
systems.


Regards,
Rob.
