[Declude.Virus] New Errors under Imail 8.03

2003-10-02 Thread Mike Nice

Since upgrading to IMail 8.03, I began getting this error  several times
each day -

Error 183 creating temp directory D:\IMAIL\spool\Dfce20c8602461764.vir\.


   (The error is something like already exists).

  Have been running 1.69i7 since May and never saw that error.

[Declude.Virus] Swen

2003-10-02 Thread Mike Wiegers
Is Swen a forged virus? I tried to get to the .eml links on the manual page
but it didn't go. Need to see if I need to update my notification templates.

Thanks,
Mike

Is Swen a forged virus?
No (as far as Declude is concerned).  The From: header is forged, but the 
return address (the one that Declude uses) is not forged.  It will normally 
come from an address that the recipient does not recognize, however (since 
it mostly seems to get addresses from web pages and Usenet newsgroups).

This is something that we are looking into.  Right now, it seems that there 
is a problem with IMail v8 either locking files that it should not, or 
possibly calling Declude multiple times for the same E-mail.

[Declude.Virus] F-Prot - OT

2003-10-02 Thread Mark Smith
Does anyone know if the F-Prot real time scanner relies on the NTFS Change
notification kernel driver?

Here's my problem... I use Microsoft Index Server for web indexing. Index
Server and ANY Antivirus software that uses the NTFS Change notification
journal do not work together.
You get index corruptions, race conditions, etc.

I'm trying to find a working solution.

[Declude.Virus] IE Vulnerability

2003-10-02 Thread Stephan Fix
This is a bit off topic, but for anyone who doesn't monitor the NTBugTraq
list, check out the following post.  I've already had one user get nailed.

Steve

Yesterday NTBugtraq was informed of an active attack against users of
Internet Explorer. I'd like to thank Steve Shockley for informing me.

The attack comprised of a banner, hosted by FortuneCity.com, which in turn
used JavaScript to redirect the self-closing pop-under banner to a site
hosted by EV1.NET (Everyone's Internet.) An EV1.NET site then delivered
executable code which in turn invoked the HTA vulnerability.  

The HTA vulnerability is a known and as yet unpatched vulnerability in IE.

Interestingly, vulnerability was described thoroughly by Thor Larholm on
Monday at the 5th annual NTBugtraq Retreat, prior to notification of the
active attack. He explains it much better than I, but my short version is;

When the Object Data vulnerability is exercised, IE renders and executes the
ActiveX object referenced in the JavaScript code. During the check to
determine whether the content is safe, IE mistakenly believes the ActiveX
object code to be simple HTML/Jscript. Therefore, it does not prompt to save
to disk. Subsequently, it remembers it is HTA content, and invokes MSHTA.EXE
to drop and execute the object code. That code is x[1].hta, which in turn
creates and executes AOLFIX.exe.

AOLFIX.EXE is downloaded into the \temp directory and executed, and deleted.

It caused a variety of actions;

1. It created empty directories called;

%systemdrive%:\bdtemp
%systemdrive%:\bdtemp\temp

2. It deleted AOLFIX.EXE

3. It created the following file, which contains the letter A;

%systemdrive%:\%systemroot%\winlog

4. It created a hosts file in the \%systemroot%\help directory which
contains numerous static IP address to search engine website mappings.

5. It created the following registry entries;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\I
nterfaces\windows]
r0x=your s0x
NameServer=69.57.146.14

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\I
nterfaces\{45F95E82-B443-428B-9EB7-4C65CDCD9006}]
NameServer=69.57.146.14

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
DataBasePath=%SystemRoot%\help

At last check (8:15pm EDT 10/1/2003) the banner page at FortuneCity.com was
still serving up the banner which leads to the malcode.

We have received reports from many locations around the world indicating
they have had the effects of this. NAI is calling this QHOSTS-1, see
http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100719.htm for more details.

Thus far there isn't much you can do beyond disabling Active Scripting
(Georgi's old mantra.)

If you apply default deny, the concept that your perimeter only allows out
that which you have permitted, then outbound DNS by clients will fail,
making them unable to browse or do anything involving DNS (including
internal DNS resolution.) If you don't use default deny, consider doing
so, or block outbound DNS (port 53) to thwart the replaced DNS entries.

Personal Firewalls which understand and can block specific applications from
accessing the network (such as Zone Labs, Symantec Personal Firewall, see
what you get if you come to the Retreat!), should be configured not to allow
MSHTA.EXE. The use of MSHTA in this attack doesn't prevent everything, but
it should prevent the redirected DNS from occurring.

Thor Larholm explained to me why disabling the HTA MIME type works. I really
should've been paying closer attention to his talk rather than trying to
talk over him...;-] Anyway, although IE is failing to properly handle the
content type application/hta when it checks if it should do a save-as
dialog, it does use it when it comes to render. Hence, it doesn't pop up,
but it does use the MIME type to determine what to invoke when it renders.
If you lose the key, even if only temporarily, it won't find MSHTA.EXE.

It is worth noting that disabling ActiveX (any of the number IE entries
which relate to ActiveX) will do nothing to prevent exploitation of this
vulnerability. The problem lies in the way IE perceives the content, and
while it should recognize it as ActiveX, it does not. Hence disabling
ActiveX will not provide a mitigator.

More tomorrow.

Cheers,
Russ - NTBugtraq Editor

RE: [Declude.Virus] F-Prot vs Other brands

2003-10-02 Thread Kami Razvan
Hi;
We have never had any problem with F-Prot.  It has always been working
perfectly.. In all these years the Message.zip was the only incident that
they were late in releasing the signature but that was because of the nature
of the virus that required them to fix something in their code.

F-Prot:  $50
McAfee:  cost per mailbox.. 

At what it will cost you to add McAfee you can add:

F-Prot, AVG, and F-Secure and still have money left in the bank.

We have multiple scanners (3) and even if F-Prot fails the other two pick it
up.  I highly recommend that you consider having at least 2 scanners...
Declude virus pro allows you to do this and it is a much safer path to
travel.

Regards,
Kami

 With the problems I've seen with F-Prot like the one mentioned below. Why
 did you F-Prot users choose F-Prot over other brands like McAfee?

Something is probably not right in his configuration, as this problem has not been 
reported on
machines running the latest f-prot version. We certainly stop everything that is 
thrown at us, at
least as I write this!

F-Prot had a 100% record for us in terms of timely releases until they messed up with 
one of the
latest viruses and did not get a satisfactory release out until 3 days later. This has 
prompted many
of us to add a 2nd scanner, but nevertheless their history has been very, very good.

The biggest reason I think F-Prot is so popular is that their license is very 
straight-forward. With
the bigger players, they really want you to buy one license for each of your 
mailboxes. There are
often legal or at least plausibly legal way around this in some cases, but I know I 
feel better
about having a license with F-Prot that seems about as clear as you can make it. 
Additionally it is
cheap and I have had good luck with support from them.

2003-10-02 Thread Jason Newland
I would suggest a notification to users telling them that as of X date, the
e-mail system will no longer accept/transmit e-mails that have .exe/.bat/or
whatever extentions attached.  Then give them a breif, and honest
explanation of the risks that it poses them and you.  You can even include
information on how to continue to send these files, but in a faster way
(zip)

Keeping up front and honest with your customers will always result in better
satisfaction.  You are perceived as looking out for them.

Hmm, I'd just send out an e-mail stating that due to recent influx of
virus's and virus's contained within EXE files, you're updating the mail
server security policy.  Then state that beginning %on this date% the
following file extensions will be blocked:  yadda-yadda-yadda.

Most will be angry that you're doing this, but ask them to zip the files if
they wish for them to be sent.  I know about the customer support aspect of
it, but if you explain that you're watching out for their well-being from a
possible virus infection stand-point, a lot will see your point and that'll
be the end of it.

 No wonder I'm still getting slammed with systems trying to send this 
 virus to my users.

This was a big thread back in July. F-Prot was only catching the Blaster
worm if it tried to run (Desktop Real Time). But it was not detected in the
scanning of email even after the definition file updates. F-Prot released
3.14a to fix this in the actual engine. I was blocking it by banned file
extensions! So this was another valid reason to block certain extensions.

If you don't start to block these dangerous extensions it's just going to
continue to cause you problems in the future.

My users where not happy at first but after I explained why they were all
more than happy to help fight the spread of viruses.

I would suggest a notification to users telling them that as of X date, the
e-mail system will no longer accept/transmit e-mails that have .exe/.bat/or
whatever extentions attached.  Then give them a breif, and honest
explanation of the risks that it poses them and you.  You can even include
information on how to continue to send these files, but in a faster way
(zip)

Keeping up front and honest with your customers will always result in better
satisfaction.  You are perceived as looking out for them.

Well, I have upgraded to 3.14, but still see TONS of these viruses getting
through.  Please help if you can...
Have you checked to see that:

[1] They actually have an .exe (or similar) attachment?
[2] The attachment is not 0 bytes?
[3] The attachment is complete, and not truncated?
Any E-mails that don't meet those three requirements will normally not get 
caught (as they are safe, just annoying).

[Declude.Virus] Spoofed Addresses

2003-10-02 Thread Chad Killion
I am sure this has been discussed many times in the past, but I have been
out of the loop, so forgive me for asking again.  How do you notify your
customers who send viruses without notifying the ones with spoofed return
addresses?  When we had the SoBig virus going around, we had to literally
shut off our notifications because people were blacklisting us because we
were sending them Virus messages even though they didn't send the virus.
Thanks in advance.

Chad

If you look at the manual site you will the email called:  Bannotify.eml

That is what is sent when a banned extension is sent.  I will send you a
copy off list of what we have.

Re: [Declude.Virus] Spoofed Addresses

2003-10-02 Thread R. Scott Perry

I am sure this has been discussed many times in the past, but I have been
out of the loop, so forgive me for asking again.  How do you notify your
customers who send viruses without notifying the ones with spoofed return
addresses?  When we had the SoBig virus going around, we had to literally
shut off our notifications because people were blacklisting us because we
were sending them Virus messages even though they didn't send the virus.
There are two ways to handle this.

Originally, the SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS option was used to handle this.  If you 
do that, you need to keep your \IMail\Declude\sender.eml and 
\IMail\Declude\otherpostmaster.eml files up-to-date as new forging viruses 
appear.

However, starting with v1.76, Declude Virus will automatically check with 
our server to see if a virus is a forging virus, and automatically suppress 
the appropriate notifications if it is.

RE: [Declude.Virus] Spoofed Addresses

2003-10-02 Thread Panda Consulting S.A. Luis Alberto Arango








Use the SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS command in your sender.eml, that way a
notification will not be sent to sender if an specific virus is caught



For example.. here is what we have in sender.eml at the beginning of
the file



SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Vulnerability

SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Magistr

SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Hybris

SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Klez

SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Bugbear

SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Bridex

SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Sobig

SKIPIFSENDER @boss.com





Make sure there is only one space between the command and the name of
the virus or vulnerability.



I am also sending you a table with the available commands. They are very
useful, you may want to take a look at them.



The following table is from the manual

Each command needs to be on a line by itself. You need to make
sure that these options (and any To:, From:, or Subject: lines) appear before
the first blank line in the E-mail template file.


 
  
  Command
  
  
  Restriction
  
  
  Usage
  
 
 
  
  ONLYSENDIFLOCALSENDER
  
  
  Will only send the notification if the
  sender of the virus is a local user.
  
  
  ONLYSENDIFLOCALSENDER
  
 
 
  
  ONLYSENDIFREMOTESENDER
  
  
  Will only send the notification if the sender
  of the virus is a remote user.
  
  
  ONLYSENDIFREMOTESENDER
  
 
 
  
  ONLYSENDIFSENDER
  
  
  Will only send the notification if the
  sender of the virus is one you specify.
  
  
  ONLYSENDIFSENDER [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  ONLYSENDIFSENDER @example.com
  
 
 
  
  ONLYSENDIFLOCALRECIPIENT
  
  
  Will only send the notification if the
  recipient of the virus is a local user.
  
  
  ONLYSENDIFLOCALRECIPIENT
  
 
 
  
  ONLYSENDIFREMOTERECEIPIENT
  
  
  Will only send the notification if the
  recipient of the virus is a remote user.
  
  
  ONLYSENDIFREMOTERECIPIENT
  
 
 
  
  SKIPIFSENDER
  
  
  Will not send the notification if the
  sender of the virus is one that you specify.
  
  
  SKIPIFSENDER [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  SKIPIFSENDER @example.com
  
 
 
  
  SKIPIFRECIP
  
  
  Will not send the notification if the recipient
  of the virus is one that you specify.
  
  
  SKIPIFRECIP
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  SKIPIFRECIP @example.com
  
 
 
  
  SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS
  
  
  Will not send the notification if the virus
  name has the text that you specify.
  
  
  SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEHAS Klez
  
 
 
  
  SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEDOESNOTHAVE
  
  
  Will not send the notification if the virus
  name does not have the text that you specify.
  
  
  SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEDOESNOTHAVE Vulnerability
  
 






I hope it helps.. regards
