Asunto: High Port 5000 Traffic Indicates Kibuv.b Worm At Work
Fecha: lunes, 17 de mayo de 2004 20:54

Symantec's DeepSight Threat network Monday detected a very high level of
unusual traffic on TCP port 5000 that indicates a worm's at work.

The latest alert, which notes "extremely heavy activity" on port 5000, is
"almost certainly a worm-related activity," said Alfred Huger, the vice
president of engineering for Symantec's virus watch group.

The suspected culprit is the Kibuv.b worm, which hit the Internet over the
weekend and exploits a vulnerability in Windows' Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) service within Windows 98, Me, and XP. The UPnP vulnerability was
first disclosed and patched in late 2001.

"Kibuv.b is taking advantage of a long-ago-patched vulnerability," said
Huger, "but we don't consider it a critical threat at the moment."
