RE: [Declude.Virus] Virus wars heat up: Bagle.Q can't be detected as a virus by mailserver virus scanners

2004-03-18 Thread Charles Frolick
IIRC, Scott had said before that 1.78 was set to become a new release before
all of these viruses, so I would think that anything not related to these
new virus features is very stable (I haven't seen any discussions about
other problems).  In other words, it should be good to go, but it is your
call.

Thanks,

Scott,

How do notifications work with this new exploit?

Also, normally I would not run interim releases, but I have had to lately
with all the virus stuff going on.  Any ideas when a new release will be
made?  I know this virus stuff keeps causing updates, but I would feel more
comfortable with a released version at some point.

Thanks!

Subject: [Declude.Virus] Virus wars heat up: Bagle.Q can't be detected as a
virus by mailserver virus scanners


During the past few weeks, virus writers have come up with at least 6 new
tricks to get their viruses past mailserver virus scanners.  They started by
spreading in .ZIP files, then moved to static encrypted .ZIP files, then
moved to dynamic encrypted .ZIP files, then started using pictures to give
out the passwords, then started using encrypted .RAR files.  The latest
trick, first announced this morning, is that they are now using the OBJECT
DATA exploit.  With this, the virus isn't spread in the E-mail, so it can't
be detected.  Worse, a user doesn't have to open an attachment for it to
spread.

There is now a new interim release of Declude Virus that will automatically
detect the OBJECT DATA exploit, which is the only way for a mailserver virus
scanner to prevent Bagle.Q or Bagle.R from spreading.  For people using
Declude Virus, we recommend upgrading to the latest interim release (at
http://www.declude.com/interim ).  Please note that you MUST have an
up-to-date Service Agreement to download this release.  If you do not have
an up-to-date Service Agreement, you can order it online at
http://www.declude.com/order.htm , and then you can immediately download the
latest interim release.

If you are using another brand of virus scanner, you should upgrade as soon
as the vendor has an upgrade available to detect the OBJECT DATA exploit.

I've only seen two of these so far, and according to McAfee, over 90%
of the hosts have been shut down:

The majority of the 590 IP addresses seen have been closed down. At the
time of writing 39 were still responding

Since these new viruses will be detected and handled the same way as 
vulnerabilities, the "SKIPIFVIRUSNAMEDOESNOTHAVE Vulnerability" line will 
work fine (handling these the same way as any other vulnerability).
