Subject: Hackers of [xpire.info] use an unknown Apache
 1.3.27 exploit???

Hi,
It appears that the signature is

00000000 C6C22C                  mov dl, 2C
00000003 37                      aaa
00000004 60                      pushad
00000005 C1EFD4                  shr edi, D4
00000008 C4922264C66A            les edx, dword ptr [edx+6AC66422]
0000000E E10D                    loopz 0000001D
00000010 8A6A5F                  mov ch, byte ptr [edx+5F]
00000013 D44E                    aam (base78)
00000015 91                      xchg eax,ecx
00000016 10044D00000000          adc byte ptr [2*ecx+104D044D], al

The beginning & the end of the disassembly may be wrong if the signature 
is not complete. However it doesn't make much sense globally and this 
code is too short to see a potential attack : no memory is written here. 
By the way, where is this signature from ?
