On 2 November 2008, Symantec reported a “worm” called W32.Wercol that attempted to exploit the Microsoft Windows Server Service RPC Handling Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (MS08-067). The following provides analysis for the W32.Wercol malware variant 10wrjcenew.exe.

In a lab test, the malware 10wrjcenew.exe:

Created C:\DOCUME~1\%user profile%\LOCALS~1\Temp\Install.2008.dat
Deleted C:\WINDOWS\System32\Dllcache\Svchost.exe
Modified C:\WINDOWS\System32\Svchost.exe
Created C:\WINDOWS\system32\7DBF6DA4

The following registry keys were created:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google “[MAC ADDRESS]“
Type: REG_BINARY
Data: (data too large: 3584 bytes)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Licenses “[MAC ADDRESS]“
Type: REG_BINARY
Data: [HEXADECIMAL DATA]

The malware proceeded to download mimi.1268772 from ls.cc86.info (121.12.172.44, CN) and pp.gif from blog-imgs-27.fc2.com (208.71.107.52, US)
