Delphi Programs Targeted by Virus - [security]
11:32 AM EDT - Aug,20 2009 - post a comment

Security researchers at Sophos & SonicWall have discovered a virus in the wild that has a very specific target: programs written in Delphi. The virus, which doesn't appear to have a payload, inserts itself into the Delphi source code and then compiles itself into a finished executable.
When a file infected with W32/Induc-A finds a program written in Delphi, it tries to write malicious code to SysConst.pas, which it then compiles to SysConst.dcu. This new, infected SysConst.dcu file will then add virus code to every new Delphi file that gets compiled on the system.

Over at Sophos, researchers received more than 3,000 unique samples of programs infected with the virus in the wild by Aug. 19. This indicates the malware has been active for some time, blogged Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. It is also likely that a number of software houses specializing in developing applications with Delphi are infected, he added.
