We are currently tracking a new version of the Rinbot worm that in addition to its regular scans, is also scanning for port 1025/tcp. Once connected, it attempts to do a Windows 2000 DnsservQuery, attempting to exploit the recent Microsoft DNS RPC vulnerability. Detection of this virus is currently very poor, and we are working with the AV vendors to improve this:

McAfee also has a writeup on this worm here.

We would like to urge you to consider implementing the workarounds discussed in our previous diary entry here and closely review the Microsoft security advisory. (Thanks to David for submitting the initial binary).
