Re: bugbear filtering

Here's what I've concocted.

(Note that in both recipes below, I've added a newline in the middle
of the pattern to avoid setting off my own scanners)

# Look for Bugbear

After a couple of days in place (and also in a snort rule), I haven't
gotten any false positives.  I don't think I'm missing any of them,
because I also check mail with McAfee's uvscan and haven't seen any
false negatives.

As a side note, several people mentioned that Klez rules will pick
it up.  If so, then I'd recommend tuning your rule, since Bugbear
resembles Klez somewhat, but is a distinct virus with some
characteristics unlike Klez.  In any case, all the standard stuff
about making rules accurate but not overbroad applies.

Here's my rule for Klez, which after six months of use, I feel very
confident in.

Hi,

We realised some rise in mail load yesterday due to bugbear since it has 
reached the UK. I did some research through the 
files and found the following to be working quite well for our mailserver.

:0 D
*Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
*TVqQAAMAAAAEAAAA//8AALgAAAAAAAAAQA
*AEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAADgLnJzcmMA
/var/mail/junk

I'm not a procmailrc pro so maybe someone around has suggestions to make this 
more efficient.

Regards,

mm
