New Microsoft Worm in the Works

Early warnings delayed an attack by a possible Blaster-like superworm, but
evidence of an upcoming attack continues to mount, according to Charles
Kaplan, an information security officer for VeriSign. VeriSign tracked
abnormal Internet activity during the previous week and through the
weekend. The warnings may have given systems administrators extra time to
patch ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation 1) and LSASS (Local Security
Authority Subsystem) vulnerabilities in Windows machines. Should a new worm
exploiting these vulnerabilities attack, it may not spread as fast as
Blaster or Slammer due to the early warning. Exploit code for the flaws has
already been discovered on malicious hacker websites. Mr. Kaplan expects an
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) worm to be released within a week, but with less
impact than Blaster or Slammer.
