OpenOffice.org Worm In The Wild Old Mon Jun 11, 2007 6:20:46 AM #38898 Perm Link
There is a new news item posted at »ASE Labs

»OpenOffice.org Worm In The Wild

<a href="http://news.com.com/2100-7349_3-6189961.html">Be sure to keep your systems up to date</a>. And I mean all of them including Linux and Mac. The worm in the wild goes after all the OSes that OO.org runs on.

Quote

Once opened, the OpenOffice file, called badbunny.odg, launches a macro that behaves in several different ways, depending on the user's operating system. On Windows systems, it drops a file called drop.bad, which is moved to the system.ini file in the user's mIRC folder. It also executes the JavaScript virus badbunny.js, which replicates to other files in the folder. On Apple Mac systems, the worm drops one of two Ruby script viruses in files respectively called badbunny.rb and badbunnya.rb. On Linux systems, the worm drops both badbunny.py as an XChat script and badbunny.pl as a Perl virus.

But what does it do? I want to know what kind of damage a worm named after a bunny manages to create.

Worms propagate, that's enough damage there.

Sounds like a royal pain. I just got OpenOffice not too long ago (a few months ago), so I'll have to double check to make sure everything is up to date.

Are you at risk if you have OO but don't run it? Or is it just if you use it on a regular basis? I'm not even 100% sure if I even have it installed anymore. Would I still be at risk?

read the article. "In the wild" was Aron exaggerating; the virus comes in form of an OD drawing including a script. I call it a proof of danger, not a threat.
