I-Worm.Roron

Roro, is an e-mail, P2P (peer-to-peer), IRC and a network worm. F-Secure has receive reports of this worm mostly from Bulgaria. There are alredy six known variant of this worm.

Roron spreads via the Internet as an attachment to infected emails and via network shared drives and the KaZaa network. The worm also has an IRC-based backdoor.

The worm itself is a Windows PE EXE file about 120KB in length, written in Microsoft Visual C++.

Installing

While installing the worm copies itself to the Windows directory with the "rundll16.exe" name and registers this file in system registry auto-run keys:


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
LoadCurrentProfile = Rundll16.exe powprof.dll,LoadCurrentUserProfile


HKCR\exefile\shell\open\command
%WinDir%\Rundll16.exe "%1" %*


HKCR\regfile\shell\open\command
%WinDir%\Rundll16.exe regedit.exe "%1"


The worm also copies itself to Windows system dir and to "Program Files" dir. To select the destination name the worm gets random file names from victim directories, or directory names, and adds one of random selected extensions:


98.exe
16.exe
32.exe


For example, worm copies may have following names:


Program Files\Online Services\Online Service16.exe


Windows\System\browseui16.exe


These files are as well registered in the Registry HKLM\...\Run=


keys and/or in WIN.INI file in the [windows] section in "run=" instruction.

The worm then may display following fake message:


WinZip Self-Extractor License Confirmation


Your version of WinZip Self-Extractor is not licensed, or the
license information is missing or corrupted. Please contact
the program vendor or the web site (www.WinZip.com) for
additional information.

The worm also creates its data file in Windows directory, and uses it for its internal needs (it stores its variables in there). The file name is winfile.dll

The worm copies may be found under the following names as well (this list is referred to later as the 'names list'):


Zip Password Recovery v4.5.exe
Star Craft 2 Trailer.exe
WWF!!_The_ROCK(sHOw).exe
cRedit CarDs gEn v1.2.exe
WinZip 8.2 (Cracked).exe
GTA 3 Bonus Cars.exe
Eminem Desktop.exe
DMX tHeMe (full).exe
NFS 5 Bonus Cars.exe
Counter Strike 1.5 (Editor).exe
Madonna - My Life (Review).exe
DivX 5.4 Bundle.exe
KaZaA Media Desktop v1.8.3.exe
Win XP key gen 2.1B.exe
Serials 2002 Update.exe

Emails

The infected messages have different Subjects, Bodies and Attached file names (see below).

The worm activates from infected email only in case a user clicks on attached file. The worm then installs itself to the system, runs spreading routine and payload.

To send infected messages the worm uses Windows MAPI functions and sends messages to all addresses found in messages from Email boxes.

Attached file names are selected from the following variants:


Star Craft 2 Trailer.exe
WWF_The_ROCK(sHOw).exe
Sound Factory SFX.exe
Eminem Desktop.exe
DMX tHeMe (full).exe
Love Zodiak.exe
[TNT]GeN.exe
Worm Guard.exe
mTV Charts.exe
Setup.exe
mTV Charts.exe


Subjects and Message bodies are randomly selected from the variants displayed below, where %s is one of the EXE file names listed above. The following text is written in Bulgarian and English.

Infecting Network

The worm looks for remote drives and copies itself to there with one of randomly selected names from "names list" (see above). The worm is able to affect a drive only in case the drive is open for full access.

The worm looks for remote drives by two methods: enumerates all available logical drives (from C: till Z , gets their type and infect them in case they are shared network drives enumerates network resources by using Windows API functions, and affects found drives.

To start its copy on next Windows restart on remote machine the worm writes to the "autorun.inf" file on the remove drive the "OPEN=" command.

Infecting KaZaa

The worm copies itself to KaZaa file sharing folder with random selected name from the "names list" above.

IRC-backdoor

The worm looks for mIRC client files, and injects new INI file to there, the new INI file name is randomly selected from variants:


alias.ini
server.ini
notes.ini
popup.ini


The worm's INI file is a backdoor script program. By connecting to IRC channels it allows to remote hacker to have control over infected machine: send/receive/execute files, send spam messages, restart machine, send PC information out, e.t.c.

Payload

The worm removes all files on all available local drives if: current date is 9th or 19th in case worm's "winfile.dll" is removed from Windows directory in case worm's Registry Run= keys are removed depending on its random counter

Other

The worm tries to terminate anti-virus programs by using ID strings:


black,panda,shield,guard,scan,mcafee,nai_vs_stat,iomon,
navap,avp,alarm,f-prot,secure,labs,antivir,zone,
virus,worm,antivir,f-secure,f-prot,kaspers

By using the same strings the worm looks for anti-virus disk files (anti-virus software installed on the system), and deletes these files.

The worm also creates system mutex "RoRo" to avoid multiple copies in Windows memory.

Removal

To remove worm from the system you should scan all drives on your computer with anti-virus program, remove all worm copies from the system, and then remove worm data file (winfile.dll) and the worm's registry keys (see above).

Important NOTE: if the worm registry keys or "winfile.dll" file is removed, but there is at least one worm copy left on the computer - this may activate the worm to remove all files from your system.

Name: W32/Oror-Fam
Aliases: I-Worm.Roron, I-Worm.Roron.12, I-Worm.Roron.25,
I-Worm.Roron.31, I-Worm.Roron.35, I-Worm.Roron.37,
I-Worm.Roron.39
Type: Win32 worm
Date: 7 November 2002


Note: At the time of writing Sophos has received no reports from
users affected by these worms. However, we have issued this
advisory following enquiries to our support department from
customers.

Description
W32/Oror-Fam is a family of worms, all of which are very similar to W32/Oror-B. Like W32/Oror-B, these worms can spread in an number of ways, including sending themselves out by email, copying themselves to shared drives in networks, and placing copies of themselves in folders likely to be shared via the KaZaA peer-to-peer system.

The W32/Oror family of worms create two data files in the Windows folder which contain information used by the worms while they are running. These data files have innocent-looking names, incorporating the first few letters of the computer name forwards and backwards. These files have normal-looking extensions, including .DEF, .VXD and .SYS. Example of the names of thse data files on a computer named VICTIM might be:


dosvictim32.vxd niwmitciv98.sys
If these files are removed whilst the worms are active, the worms immediately begin deleting all files on the computer.

You can find additional details about the W32/Oror family of worms by looking at the analysis of W32/Oror-B.

You know whats really amazing? As I was reading thru the test of the messages it sends in propogation, it was just like reading a thousand other worm messages. They are so bogus, I find it incredible that people keep clicking on those things. It does not take a mental giant to see that these messages are not what one gets from friends and family.
I'm setting here shaking my head in wonder, thinking worms like this should never go anywhere. What does it take to get people to stop clicking, clicking, clicking..........
Probably the same people that voted in the last elections here.

 

Curiosity is the worst enemy!!!
