| | Spamvertised Xerox document themed malware campaign spreading Yet another PDF attack disguised as something else Quote: A currently spamvertised malware campaign attempts to trick the user into thinking he’s received a scanned Xerox document, whereas the actual attachment is a malicious PDF file, which once successfully exploiting the CVE-2007-5659; CVE-2008-2992; CVE-2009-0927 and CVE-2009-4324 flaws drops scareware on the infected host. Sample message: Hello, It was scanned and sent to you using a Xerox WorkCentre Pro. Please open the attached document. Attachment name: 02-02-2011-43.pdfAs far as the social engineering theme is concerned, cybercriminals periodically reintroduce and rotate it once the campaign receives the necessary media coverage. Users are advised to go through the Ultimate Guide to Scareware Protection, and ensure their hosts are client-side vulnerabilities free with Secunia’s Personal Software Inspector (PSI). |
