"SECURITY outfit McAfee has published details of a Linux worm that it has found in the wild.

The worm is a modified derivative of the BSD/Scalper worms and spreads by exploiting web servers hosting vulnerable PHP/CGI scripts.

It blindly attacks webservers by sending malicious http requests on port 80. If server happens to rune one of the vulnerable scripts the worm is copied and sent out to form a global network of compromised servers which can be used for Zombie attacks or spambots."
 
if every time a flaw came out for Linux/Unix people thought it was the end of all things for the OS they'ed had gone the way of the dodo a long time ago.
