New Linux-based Worm Alert!

“The SANS institute has documented the Adore worm (previously called the Red worm), similar to the Lion and Ramen worms. It scans for Linux systems to see if they are vulnerable to the LPRng, rpc-statd, wu-ftpd and BIND exploits, and, if so, inflicts its damage. Note that LPRng is installed by default on Red Hat 7.0. The worm apparently debuted on April 1. The full write-up (a work in progress) may be found at http://www.sans.org/y2k/adore.htm.” [thanks ed!]
