You're not vunerable from the stand point of a Windows virus/worm infecting
a Linux system. However, I've read at a few web sites that *NIX servers
running Apache have had their web servers crash due to the type of probing
that an infected system does while looking for another vunerable system to
infect.
Mandrake has released new .rpm files for Apache and all its associated
other modules, etc., and the description of what those things were fixing
(in the security announcement that they made) seems pretty consistant with
what I was reading elsewhere about the worm crashing some Apache systems
while doing its thing. If you're running a web server on your machine,
then you probably want to update it and its modules.
