What
is the Beagle.R worm?
Beagle.R is a variant of Beagle.O.
This worm attempts to send an HTML email to the
addresses found in the files on an infected
computer. The email does not contain an
attachment of the worm. Instead, the HTML email
uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer Object Tag
Vulnerability that allows for the automatic
download and execution of a file hosted on a
remote Web site. This file is a copy of the worm,
but may change in the future.
The worm also opens a backdoor, starts a Web
server on port 81 to serve the worm, and attempts
to spread through file-sharing networks by
copying itself to the folders with "shar"
in their names. The worm is also a file infector
that appends itself to the .exe files found in
the c:\emails folder on the computer.
Also known as: W32/Bagle.r@MM, PE_BAGLE.R,
W32/Bagle-R, Win32.Bagle.R, I-Worm.Bagle.q
When Beagle.R is executed, it performs the
