    Hi all,
    yesterday we received a scan for ports 53, 109 and 111 with the synscantool
    from one ip for about one minute.
    Port 53 and 111 are the wellknown vulnerabilities of bind-daemon and
    rpc.statd but what is 109 for?
    I know itīs pop2 but i canīt remember any exploits lately besides
    
    http://www.securityfocus.com/vdb/?id=283
    
    and this is old news.
    
    Has anyone received similar scans in the last time?
    Could this be a new variant of any of the latest worms?
    Could this be a simple synscan-scan where old and newer vulnerabilities
    have been mixed?
    
    regards
    axel
