Threat: Backdoor.Win32.Whirlpool.10
Vulnerability: Remote Stack Buffer Overflow
Description: Whirlpool listens on UDP Datagram ports 8848 and 8864. Sending a 192 byte payload to port 8864 triggers a stack buffer overflow overwriting both EIP and SEH. This can allow third party attackers to compromise the backdoor malware.
Type: PE32
MD5: bf0682b674ef23cf8ba0deeaf546f422
Vuln ID: MVID-2021-0038
Dropped files:
ASLR: False
DEP: False
Safe SEH: True
Disclosure: 01/19/2021
