MD5: 0FCD30C5093D798917AEE203263ED2DB

SHA1: ABDAD79CA98697CFC1E2BDF8FD8C23F205080C30

Payload

Once launched, the exploit uses the vulnerability CVE-2010-2568 in "shell32.dll". This vulnerability allows local users or remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .LNK or .PIF shortcut file, which is not properly handled during icon display in Windows Explorer.

When a user opens an infected USB-drive by using the Windows Explorer, the following command line will be launched:

C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe setup50045.fon,6279f92e

Thus, the function "6279f92e" will be called from DLL "setup50045.fon" using the system utility "rundll32.exe".

Removal Instructions

2. Perform a full system scan with an antivirus with updated databases.
