Mcaffee lists the virus as:
"This mass-mailing worm sends itself to email
addresses harvested from the Windows Address Book
and files on the victim machine. The worm kills
certain processes running on the victim machine.
The worm also parasitically infects PE files on
the Windows machine. Infected files will increase
in size by 567 bytes. The files do not replicate
themselves - the infection serves only to
relaunch the worm. Files infected in this manner
are detected as W32/Ganda by the specified
engine/DATs
Mass-Mailing
The worm contains its own SMTP engine and sends
itself via the default SMTP server specified in
the Internet Account Manager, or a hard-coded
Swedish SMTP server. The From: address in sent
email is spoofed (using a harvested email
address). Interestingly, both English and Swedish
languages are used in constructing the email
messages.
Outgoing messages may contain an old Internet
Explorer vulnerability(IFRAME) in order to run
itself when the recipient previews the email (on
unpatched systems). See Microsoft Security
Bulletin (MS01-020) for more information and a
patch concerning this exploits.
The worm harvests target email addresses from the
Windows Address Book and files on the victim
machine. One of these email addresses is also
used to spoof the From: address."
There's more, just search "ganda" on their site. |
