500 Thousand MS Web Servers Hacked
andrewd18 writes "According to F-Secure, over 500,000 webservers across the world, including some from the United Nations and UK government, have been victims of a SQL injection. The attack uses an SQL injection to reroute clients to a malicious javascript at nmidahena.com, aspder.com or nihaorr1.com, which use another set of exploits to install a Trojan on the client's computer. As per usual, Firefox users with NoScript should be safe from the client exploit, but server admins should be alert for the server-side injection. Brian Krebs has a decent writeup on his Washington Post Security Blog, Dynamoo has a list of some of the high-profile sites that have been hacked, and for fun you can watch some of the IIS admins run around in circles at one of the many IIS forums on the 'net."
Does it run on linux.

In fact, the attack enumerates all ASP variables and tries to force a SQL payload in them, that in turn if executed adds the link to the malicious script to every textfield in the database. A very simple vulnerability scanner, if you like, targeting only ASP applications - thus the ISS spin.
Since we don't see the LAMP version spreading I think we can safely conclude that no web application written in PHP with a MySQL back-end is currently vulnerable to any type of SQL injection.
