Posted at Help Net Security: “We’ve all just been hit by a VERY aggressive worm/virus.

Quick analysis indicates that it propagates itself in a number of different ways:

Through use of IIS UNICODE direcory traversal coupled with the recent IIS .dll privilege escalation attack. It uses SMB/CIFS and TFTP to get the worm payload.

Through MAPI mails (probably to all of addressbook).”
