Threat: Backdoor.Win32.Agent.cy
Vulnerability: Denial of Service
Description: The malware listens on TCP port 1111, drops an executable named "Spoolsw.exe" under SysWOW64 that runs with SYSTEM integrity. Authenticated intruders can send a 64 byte packet and trigger a null pointer read and crash of the backdoor.
