Malware FontOnLake menginfeksi sistem Linux melalui utilitas trojan

October 12, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Keluarga malware yang baru saja ditemukan telah menginfeksi sistem Linux yang bersembunyi di dalam binari yang sah. Dijuluki FontOnLake, malware ini memberikan komponen backdoor dan rootkit.

Malware ini memiliki prevalensi rendah di alam liar dan mendapat manfaat dari desain canggih yang memungkinkannya mempertahankan persistensi yang diperpanjang pada sistem yang terinfeksi.

FontOnLake memiliki beberapa modul yang berinteraksi satu sama lain dan memungkinkan komunikasi dengan operator malware, mencuri data sensitif, dan tetap tersembunyi di sistem.

Para peneliti di ESET menemukan beberapa sampel malware yang diunggah ke layanan pemindaian VirusTotal sepanjang tahun lalu, yang pertama muncul pada Mei 2020.

Ditandai dengan desain tersembunyi dan canggih, FontOnLake kemungkinan digunakan dalam serangan yang ditargetkan oleh operator yang cukup berhati-hati untuk menggunakan server perintah dan kontrol (C2) yang unik untuk “hampir semua sampel” dan berbagai port non-standar.

Di antara utilitas Linux yang diubah oleh aktor ancaman untuk mengirimkan FontOnLake adalah:

  • cat – digunakan untuk mencetak konten file
  • kill – daftar semua proses yang berjalan
  • sftp – secure FTP utility
  • sshd – the OpenSSH server process

Menurut para peneliti, utilitas trojan kemungkinan dimodifikasi pada tingkat kode sumber, menunjukkan bahwa aktor ancaman mengkompilasinya dan menggantikan yang asli.

Selain membawa malware, peran binari yang dimodifikasi ini adalah memuat muatan tambahan, mengumpulkan informasi, atau melakukan tindakan jahat lainnya.

Para peneliti menemukan tiga pintu belakang khusus yang ditulis dalam C++ yang terkait dengan keluarga malware FontOnLake, yang memberikan akses jarak jauh kepada operator ke sistem yang terinfeksi.

ESET mengatakan bahwa FontOnLake mungkin merupakan malware yang sama yang sebelumnya dianalisis oleh para peneliti di Tencent Security Response Center, yang mengaitkannya dengan insiden ancaman persisten tingkat lanjut.
