A patch for the PnP operating system vulnerability exploited by W32/Cuebot-D can be obtained from Microsoft at: MS05-039 -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Bryner [mailto:jbryner1@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 11:03 AM To: incidents@securityfocus.com Subject: cuebot-d infection method I've seen a couple cuebot-d infections over the last couple days and am trying to track down the source of them. Has anyone seen enough of this to know the universe of ways the pc gets initially infected? The pcs that have gotten infected have mcafee running on them which incorrectly picks it up as W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.by when a scan is requested. It didn't seem to pick it up *until* a scan was requested. The writeup at http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32cuebotd.html fits the scenario, but it doesn't say exactly what the initial infection vector is. Thanks for any help. Jeff CISSP, GCIH, GCFA
