Alert: Macro Melissa macht Mailserver matt-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Aussendungen macht, ist immer was im Busch. Word Macro Melissa, das in der abgelaufenen offenbar massenhaft in Umlauf kam, lähmt Mailserver. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- CERT Advisory CA-99-04-Melissa-Macro-Virus Original issue date: Saturday March 27 1999 Last Revised: Saturday March 27, 1999 Systems Affected * Machines with Microsoft Word 97 or Word 2000 * Any mail handling system could experience performance problems or a denial of service as a result of the propagation of this macro virus. Overview At approximately 2:00 PM GMT-5 on Friday March 26 1999 we began receiving reports of a Microsoft Word 97 and Word 2000 macro virus which is propagating via email attachments. The number and variety of reports we have received indicate that this is a widespread attack affecting a variety of sites. Our analysis of this macro virus indicates that human action (in the form of a user opening an infected Word document) is required for this virus to propagate. It is possible that under some mailer configurations, a user might automatically open an infected document received in the form of an email attachment. This macro virus is not known to exploit any new vulnerabilities. While the primary transport mechanism of this virus is via email, any way of transferring files can also propagate the virus. Anti-virus software vendors have called this macro virus the Melissa macro or W97M_Melissa virus. I. Description The Melissa macro virus propagates in the form of an email message containing an infected Word document as an attachment. The transport message has most frequently been reported to contain the following Subject header Subject: Important Message From <name> Full text http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-99-04-Melissa-Macro- Virus.html. related story http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2233030,00.html -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1999-03-27 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
