Abstract

“ Attackers use all kinds of attack vectors to steal sensitive information from their targets. Their efforts are not limited to only zero-day vulnerabilities. Malware authors often exploit old vulnerabilities because a large number of organizations still use old vulnerable software. The Trojan Travnet, which steals information, is a classic example of malware that takes advantage of unpatched software. We have recently observed malicious Travnet RTF and Excel documents that exploit old vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2010-3333, in Microsoft Office. During our investigation we identified some samples associated with this campaign that have been active since 2009.
