Someone forwarded this to me and I was wondering if the group had any thoughts on our vulnerability to this sort of thing. CERT WARNS OF WORM THAT INFECTS SOLARIS SERVERS Posted at May 08, 2001 08:52 AM Pacific A NEW INTERNET worm that can infect Web servers running Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system and Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) has been discovered. The worm first attacks the Solaris server and then sets it up to attack the systems running IIS, the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) said Tuesday. The worm takes advantage of known security flaws in both servers' software to compromise systems and deface Web pages, according to CERT, which has named the malicious code the "sadmind/IIS worm."
