| It appears this port is being used as the starting point of Windows "NET SEND" spam messages that use the Messenger service. A connection is made to port 135 to determine what high-numbered port the Messenger service is running on. |

| Looks like msblast is on it's way...
If you manage to sniff any of the packets you will see one of these messages:
"billy gates why do you make this possible?"
"Stop making money and fix your software!!"
Mblast can be found in c:\windows\system32\
as well as:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\

| Hi,
Today (9-17-2003), I have noticed several computers scanning external IP addresses on UDP:135. The computers are doing ascending IP scan, similar to Blaster. This is the payload : "CKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
More on this can be found at :

Does anybody else have similar problems? Do you know what worm is this?

| Some well known Root kits also use this port to transmit data back to home base and download more malware. I also suspect may be an entry point for some root kit /malware for un patched systems or systems that did not patch correctly. |

| Please see http://www.nipc.gov/warnings/advisories/2003/Potential7302003.htm for the latest on an RPC exploit against Microsoft operating systems.
Also, from the vendor: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp
Please ensure that all unnecessary TCP/UDP ports are blocked and particularly TCP 135, TCP 139, TCP 445, or any other specifically configured RPC port.
Unapproved CVE #: CAN-2003-0352 (As of July 31st, 2003)

Remote Procedure Calls
Many versions of Microsoft operating systems (Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and 2003) provide an inter-process communication mechanism that allows programs running on one host to execute code on remote hosts. Three vulnerabilities have been published that would allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on susceptible hosts with Local System privileges. One of these vulnerabilities was exploited by Blaster/MSblast/LovSAN and Nachi/Welchia worms. There are also other vulnerabilities that would allow attackers to mount Denial of Service attacks against RPC components.

| Port of entry for RPC bug exploiting Worms like lovSan, msblaster on unfixed Windows 32bit systems. Potentialy very dangerous. |

| Port 135 is essential to the functionality of Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange mail servers, among other things. |

W32/Blaster worm
The W32/Blaster worm exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft's DCOM RPC interface as described in VU#568148 and CA-2003-16. Upon successful execution, the worm attempts to retrieve a copy of the file msblast.exe from the compromising host. Once this file is retrieved, the compromised system then runs it and begins scanning for other vulnerable systems to compromise in the same manner. In the course of propagation, a TCP session to port 135 is used to execute the attack. However, access to TCP ports 139 and 445 may also provide attack vectors and should be considered when applying mitigation strategies. Microsoft has published information about this vulnerability in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026.
