Subject: DCOM Worm released

Never mind. SANS now indicates:

Infection sequence:

1. SOURCE sends packets to port 135 tcp with variation of dcom.c exploit
   to TARGET
2. this causes a remote shell on port 4444 at the TARGET
3. the SOURCE now sends the tftp get command to the TARGET, using the
   shell on port 4444,
4. the target will now connect to the tftp server at the SOURCE.
