1. A few hours after I posted the Flashback.K, someone anonymously uploaded Flashback.O sample (thank you very much!), which I am posting below. Like in the first case, it is a payload binary from a victim, not the downloader, which makes it impossible to install. If you succeed or have a binary that installs, please share. I personally have not tried to run them yet, did not have a vm.| Examples of referrers blacklisted by Blackhole exploit kit |

These 4 phish message attempt to utilize CVE-2011-1991 type (1) deskpan.dll in the Display Panning CPL Extension. Here is a clear explanation of the deskpan.dll functionality - it is "a module related to the display settings of pictures on your display screen" It is normally located in C:\ windows\ system32\. The phishing messages contain a word document (0/44 on VT) and a dll file called deskpan.dll in one zip or rar archive, which is in fact a Taidoor trojan dll unrelated to the authentic Windows library. This exploit has strict requirements for execution. I have not been able to meet them and get it to work, just like in Apr 13 CVE-2011-2100 PDF - Adobe DLL Loading Vulnerability - Agenda.7z, it is hard to trigger.

On September 13, 2011, Marco Giuliani from Webroot posted a detailed analysis of Mebromi - BIOS rootkit affecting Chinese computers with AWARD BIOS, which was earlier discovered by Qihoo 360. As noted by cfans from bbs.kafan.cn and kerne1_madman from hi.baidu.com/kerne1_madman, the infection starts with a binary with MD5 1AA4C64363B68622C9426CE96C4186F2 that downloads the actual dropper MD5 BB5511A6586BA04335712E6C65E83671. While looking for the samples, I found one domain referenced on CleanMX on 2011-08-31 that was used for distribution of the downloader with binary called qvodffs.exe MD5 1AA4C64363B68622C9426CE96C4186F2 hxxp://av.88ss.info/qvodffs.exe. In other cases it was called 123.exe (noted by Prevx -seen on Aug 29, 2011 ) | ESAT robot iz very sad |
