update on the linux worm

[Gadi Evron <ge@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A quick digest of some updates from the last few hours on this issue:

1. The worm is based on 'kaiten', which has been going around in 
different variants for a long time now.

2. This worm is new.

3. The first part exploits PHP applications, like these variants 
normally do.

4. The second part spreads to other systems.

5. The worm connects to a botnet C&C based on two Fast-flux DNS RR's 
which are not there anymore, and as they change, are taken down.

As always, more updates if necessary on: http://blog.securiteam.com

Thanks,

        Gadi.
