Threat: Backdoor.Win32.GTbot.c
Vulnerability: Insecure Permissions
Description: GTbot creates an insecure dir called "WINNT" under c:\ drive and grants change permissions (C) to the authenticated user group. Standard users can rename the malware to disable it or replace with their own executable. Then wait for a privileged user to logon to the infected machine to potentially escalate privileges.
