Re: New http attack?

Hi

I've been seeing this kind of traffic on a number of servers since 30
May with peak on 2 June (around 100 requests per day). The number of
requests has been slowly decreasing since (got 4 requests yesterday).

A colleague first noticed it in his apache logs because of a large
number of http requests without referrer or user agent headers (other
than that, apache logs show a normal GET / requests with response 200)

My first guess was that it is some kind of a worm because the wave of
requests I've seen came almost exclusively from IPs that are near IPs of
my servers.

My google search turned up a few exploits that are using "Authorization:
Negotiate" header to exploit an old vulnerability in the Microsoft ASN.1
library (CAN-2003-0818).

I have a full packet log if anyone is interested.

Best regards
