Security flaw takes a bite
out of Apple Computers.
Apple
Ray Publishing has warned computer users of a
new worm spreading across the internet, which exploits a critical
vulnerability in versions of Microsoft Windows.
The
W32/Blaster-A
worm (also known as Lovsan, MSBlaster or Poza) contains a mocking message
for Microsoft's chairman Bill Gates, and attempts to launch a denial of
service attack on a website run by Microsoft for the purpose of
distributing important security patches.
"Blaster attempts to knock Microsoft's
windowsupdate.com website off the internet," explained Graham Cluley,
senior technology consultant for Sophos Anti-Virus. "By attempting a
denial of service attack on the windowsupdate.com website, the virus
author is deliberately trying to make it difficult for computer users to
download the patch they need to secure their copies of Windows against the
worm. It's an extremely devious trick by Blaster's author."
The worm contains a message for Microsoft's
Bill Gates, which does not get displayed:
I just want to say LOVE YOU SAN!! billy
gates why do you make this possible ? Stop making money and fix your
software!!
The Blaster worm does not spread via email,
but does distribute itself via the internet looking for vulnerable
computers that have not been patched against a
security
hole first reported by Microsoft in mid-July.
"System administrators should note that
Blaster doesn't spread by email - so internet email scanning services will
not be able to detect this worm, and an absence of reports at your email
gateway does not mean you can rest on your laurels," said Graham
Cluley. "Companies should deploy the patch from Microsoft, ensure
their firewall is set up correctly and update the anti-virus on their
desktop and servers."
*Ray
Publishing advises users of Apple Macintosh and Unix computers that
they are not affected by the Microsoft security vulnerability, and are not
at risk from the worm.
