Dec. 29 CVE-2008-3005 / MS08-043 Darkmoon RAT Excel Russia Foreign Minister Meeting from spoofed daisuke_hasegawa@mofa.go.jp Dec 2009 06:50:10 -0000


Download the infected Excel file 1229.xls plus extracted bin files as 1229+bin files.zip (password protected archive, you need to contact me for the password)

            


This message was received from a spoofed email address of an official at the Foreign Ministry of Japan. The message came from China, it is crafted to install a remote administration tool known as Darkmoon (similar to  ProRAT). I will post more details as soon as I can.

  12月28日、岡田大臣は、モスクワにおいて、ラヴロフ外務大臣と日露外相会談を行うと共に、ナルィシュキン大統領府長官と会談したところ、結果概要は以下のとおり。

      【ポイント】

    ●外相会談において、岡田大臣から、鳩山政権として政治と経済を車の両輪のように前進させたい、日露行動計画に基づき日露関係が進む一方、領土の帰属の問題について目に見える進展がない、領土問題について具体的な前進が図れるよう外相レベルでも努力しなくてはならない、ロシア側に帰属の問題について日本の立場を踏まえる形での対応を求めたい旨発言。

    ●ラヴロフ外相は、ロシア外交にとって日本との外交は優先事項であると説明しつつ、領土問題に関し、人為的に解決を遅らせるつもりはない、国際法及び第2次大戦の結果を踏まえる必要があると述べつつ、ロシア側の原則的立場を説明。

Dec. 23. CVE-2009-4324 Adobe 0 Day. Attack of the Day VERY Merry Christmas from everyone

Merry Christmas cards come in bulk. I normally don't bother with greeting cards viruses but these are 0 Day pdfs and I am peeved at Adobe for making a decision to wait with the fixes in order not to disrupt the update cycle.  The cards show total lack of imagination and aesthetics but impressive antivirus evasion abilities, especially on the second card Merry Christmas.pdf  0ac635c06b571ad340b115f3d744f951  - only three AV providers have a clue. Please see both samples below, you can download them from the link above.

Software informer. Adware / Malware - most likely

Software informer.
This information was sent by a reader. I am posting it here with minimal editions. If you would like to download, test it, and resolve the controversy, the link is below. Thank you for your help.

There seem to be a lot of controversy on whether a Russian made software piece called Software Informer is malware/adware or not. http://aroundsap.blogspot.com/2007/08/remove-software-informer-system.html

I believe it is an adware and must be avoided - like anything associated with RBN. If you search for software updates, you often run into links poisoned by their ads like this
hxxp://aventail-access-manager.software.informer.com/download/
or this
hxxp://camera-assistant-software.software.informer.com/
 
"IP range (208.88.224.0/24) from files.informer.com (IP = 208.88.224.211) is in the RBN block rules.

Dec. 22. Adobe 0 Day. Attack of the Day. 報告書(排出権取引に関する記述) from XXXREDACTED@mofa.go.jp Tue, 22 Dec 2009 09:36:20 +0800


Update Dec 22 7:40 am: Several new variants of  CVE-2009-4324 arrived since yesterday in different targeted messages. I do not have time to post them now but hope to do it, eventually. I think the trickle of messages containing this type of exploit now turned into a shower and is likely to become a downpour. I hope the AV vendors and Adobe are working hard on their detection and fixes because the current VT results are a bit worrisome.


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

Somehow I doubt that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan http://www.mofa.go.jp/ joined the the zero day games, however, the headers seem to point to their network or someone using it.--- never mind, they don't. "mofa.go.jp 117.11.119.251" is not really mofa.go.jp (Updated Dec.22 7:30 am).


Update. Dec 22 15:30
The spoofed message is crafted to look like a message from an existing high ranking official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan . Contents of the message and pdf are in Japanese and are pieces of documents discussing emissions controls. The documents contained names of various officials and full correct contact information of the alleged sender from MOFA. Since I do not speak Japanese, I had to seek advice from people who can read Japanese and make such decisions. I have been told that while they are obviously fakes, it would take too much time and effort to make sure the documents contain no sensitive information and therefore the message contents should not be released. I cannot publish them after receiving the recommendations above, there will be no samples on this one (M)

Adobe is taking their sweet time to fix the problem while new variants show up. You don't need  ESP to predict that Christmas cards will be followed by New Year's invites and IRS forms before most people receive and install the updates. I was surprised that Symantec, being the CVE-2009-4324 pack leader in the past few days, did not detect it.  Tip of the hat to Messagelabs for catching it again.

This message is targeted but not perfect - not all recipients of that message can read Chinese. I posted the machine translation in the end of the post, it is about some alleged recent strip photo scandal in the People's Liberation Army.

This message shows that detection of the new threat remains tricky. Messagelabs apparently used Symantec scanners to stop and tag the threat yet Symantec did not detect it when it was scanned on Virustotal. Not to mention a distressingly low overall detection rate -  7 out of 41.

UPDATE
More technical details from extraexploit http://extraexploit.blogspot.com/2009/12/adobe-cve-2009-4324-in-wild.html


As this updated post of December 11, 2009 shows, a new Adobe zero day vulnerability is currently in the wild. If you are a malware analyst, grab your copy in the post and contact me for the infected pdf archive password.

Extraexploit analyzed his sample and reports that it drops ab.exe (download it from his blog or here and email for the pass). Apparently, ab.exe generates traffic to 124.217.238.101
