Security Incidents: Re: IIS Search Method Overflow being revisted?

["Jay Woody" <jay_woody () tnb com>]

Yeah, I realized after I sent it.  I saw ISS, not IIS.  I wish I had some excuse, but just too quick on the draw I 
guess.  I personally think we ought to have some acronym providing organization that keeps them from being too close.

Ahhh, no -- that is an ICQ problem in ISS BlackICE, etc products.  
_Quite_ unrelated...

Actually, I doubt you could be further off.

Jay -- I know it's probably not worth much to you, but I think that 
many will be experiencing an increase in such attempts (though they may 
not be noticing them).

What may help is I am seeing them coincidental with attempts from the 
same source IPs on TCP 2745.  That is the port the backdoor installed 
by Bagle.D and Bagle.E (and probably other variants) listens on.  My 
guess is that one of the recent Agobot or Polybot variants is probably 
responsible for the port 80 traffic you are seeing, as some of these 
have quite an arsenal of spread mechanisms.
