    We have discovered more than 300 websites that include malicious code
    that will attempt to run a program on your machine without end-user
    intervention. Similar to the recent Scob attack, a dual-pronged approach
    of exploiting vulnerable servers and clients is being used.

    There is no commonality on the web server side with the exception of 164
    sites that are all hosted by the same hosting facility in Florida.

    Details on the hosting facility in Florida:

    The site that includes the exploit code is:

    http://www.karl-marx.ru/
    And the counter is located at:
    http://www.karl-marx.ru/counter.php

    We were not able to download and research the code as it was unavailable
    at the time of this report.

    Detailed infected URLS:
    http://www.karl-marx.ru//main.chm
    http://www.karl-marx.ru/counter.php
    http://www.karl-marx.ru/script.php?
    http://www.karl-marx.ru/wcmd.htm
    IP: 207.36.201.106

    The IP address is owned by an ISP in Florida who has been notified.

    All of the sites we are also hosted by the same ISP in Florida but
    appear to be on a different machine with the IP address. All sites are
    Vhosted.

    IP: 207.150.192.12

    The exploits are utilizing IE vulnerabilities like the following: (a
    variety of uses with .CHM).

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms04-023.mspx

    Server-side Vulnerability exploited:

    It is not clear how the server(s) were compromised, but the hosting
    facility has been contacted and we are waiting to hear from them to get
    details.

    The webserver that was infected most was running, Apache/1.3.26 (Unix)
    mod_mhp mod_mhp_log mod_virtcgi frontPage/5.0 mod_status_mhp.

    The other 140 servers that are using the CHM exploit are a variety of
    Web Servers including Apache and IIS. Also, many are running PHP.
    Although evidence shows that most have been exploited, some also appear
    to be knowingly using this vulnerability to install spyware and other
    tools on your machine without your knowledge (10 sites using
    exploit.chm)
