Linux Lupper.Worm In the WIld

jurt1235 writes "McAfee reports that a Linux worm has been found in the wild. The Linux/Lupper.worm is a derivative of the Linux/Slapper worm which also exists for BSD, just to be crossplatform. From the McAfee description: The worm blindly attacks web servers by sending malicious http requests on port 80. If the target server is running one of the vulnerable scripts at specific URLs and is configured to permit external shell commands and remote file download in the PHP/CGI environment, a copy of the worm could be downloaded and executed."

    I seem to recall a couple of Linux distros that DO install and run
    a web browser the first time you log in. Definately Knoppix does,
    (although it's Konquerer) and I think Ubuntu did as well.

    I don't consider this a problem... just pointing it out.
