Security outfit McAfee has published details of a Linux worm.
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 run 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.
