4/12: Mytob-AR Yet Another Variant
April 12, 2005

W32.Mytob.AR@mm is a mass-mailing worm that uses its own SMTP engine to send an email to addresses that it gathers from the compromised computer with back door capabilities.

The worm spreads by exploiting the Microsoft Windows Local Security Authority Service Remote Buffer Overflow (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-011) and the Microsoft Windows DCOM RPC Interface Buffer Overrun Vulnerability (described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026).

Technical details can be found at Symantec page.
