Development continues as more variants are being added to the growing Korgo worm family. The MS04-011 security patch is needed as the virus family continues to grow with new functional or repackaged variants. [:'(]

Korgo Overview: This worm exploits vulnerable Microsoft Windows systems. The worm scans IP addresses in the class A or class B subnets as well as random IP addresses, sending SYN packets on TCP port 445 to identify potential victims. Exploit code is then sent to the host to overflow a buffer in LSASS.EXE and execute the virus on the victim system.
