I believe there was a ntp exploit that came out this week on security focus
(deep sight) might be somebody trying to exoit it, but I don't know why the
ICMP is there maybe looking for live hosts?  Might also be some sort of ICMP
time attack.

Subject: Possible variant of Blaster/Nachi/Welchia?

I have seen some STRANGE traffic on our dorms this morning.  The dorms 
are all on a private network 172.18.0.0.  I have hosts (10 so far) that 
are doing this:

    spoofed 172.x.x.x:123 UDP --> random 172.x.x.x:123
same spoof 172.x.x.x ICMP --> another random 172.x.x.x
same spoof 172.x.x.x ICMP --> another random 172.x.x.x

About once or twice a minute the ICMPs continue, but the UDP isn't repeated.

It appears to be spreading (new machines showing up doing the same 
thing).  Any ideas, clues, ring any bells?

Jeff
