Well, someone needs to check what version of PHP we're running and update if needed, and ASAP I would think.

About the foreign language clip: Doesn't look Portugese to me, Portugese looks like a Spanish and French mix, but it looks more Italian because of the massive amount of io and ir bits. Spanish has them, but not to the same extremity.

Hope we have the most updated version. It would suck massively to have to start over again.

Bah, stupid board lagging making me worry!
This doesn't look like something a worm would do. Worms generally try to upload trojans or other such things to give the attacker control of the site, not just delete some files. Surprisingly, the page it leaves behind appears to contain no browser exploit code. Also, if what Kyouji Craw was saying about it counting the number of sites it's hit, that'd be pretty damn hard for a worm to do. I wonder if it's not just a group of '31337 h4x0r5' trying to look like a worm...

Lucky my site hasn't been hit... Of course, if it is, it's not too hard to fix. Connect to FTP, select all PHP files, upload. I make all changes on local copies of the files before uploading, so I always have the most recent backup.

What versions are affected? (A link, perhaps?)

Well, judging from the sites that you've listed, there seems to be a pattern - video game sites.

I'd say that's more of a pattern in the type of sites you've been checking.

Actually, it has more to do with the sites that are being posted.

Heh, my Antivirus program just gave me this message, quite recently:

"Networm worm "Santy" is spreading. This worm infects only web servers. It infects online discussion forums running phpBB software and defaces them with a text mentioning "NeverEverNoSanity"."

Well, if that's true, then we would not need to worry about it infecting this board anyway..

I haven't been to any of the sites linked to in this thread that has been infected with this, because I don't want to, so I wouldn't know if they're using phpBB or not.

Well, as long as this board's safe, that alleviates most of the worry. I just looked on google news now, and the earliest something has been written up on this was one hour ago. Here's a link if you can't be bothered to run the search yourself

http://news.google.com/news?tab=gn&q=neverevernosanity&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&filter=0

Those sites have an explanation of how it works, which is through a special google search.

As long as antivirus companies have picked up on it, it's pretty much up to the owners of the sites that got defaced to restore from a backup, then upgrade to PHP 2.0.11.

Internet Storm Center has a post about it.

Interesting that it uses Google.

Heh, the same exploit could be used on any other board that uses PHP of course. But we should be thankful that it's not aiming Acmlm board or anything.

And even then, it's not deleting posts and stuff on the board, just the boarcode itself. I think the MYSQL database stays intact. Thought the worm could theoritcally remove the whole database... but I hadn't seen anything saying that it does.

...we do have a copy of the board code on his harddrive, it's just to reupload everything.

It dosen't take much time to upload either, so it wouldn't be a big lost of time.

NOt much damage seems to be done, as most of the website I visited that had been attacked are already restored.

People have way too much time on their hands

Heh...

...actually this worm does semibig damage, the databases should just be fine. Notice that it's just the php part of that site that is affected...

The bugs allow for arbirtary code execution, so they could do anything that a program could do if you just walked up and ran it on the server. The worm doesn't appear to do anything besides change the PHP code, though.
