across a network by exploiting a vulnerability in the
Windows Server service (SVCHOST.EXE). If the vulnerability
is successfully exploited, it could allow remote code
execution when file sharing is enabled. Depending on the
specific variant, it may also spread via removable drives
and by exploiting weak passwords. It disables several
important system services and security products and
downloads arbitrary files.
