Apache CDorked backdoor detection

Description

The remote host seems to be infected with the Apache CDorked backdoor. This backdoor allows a remote user to create a shell and/or pass the server commands via specially crafted HTTP requests.

Solution

Manually clean the infected machine by replacing the trojan http binary. See the referenced link for more detection tools.
