I'm forever entertained by the number of news people who will call an exploit for a single program a "Linux" virus/worm/etc. This thing uses known vulnerabilities in outdated versions of BIND, versions that have long since been declared EOL by the ISC. It's an elegant piece of work, mind you, and I'm both impressed and scared. I'm also not running any public BIND boxen with versions that old. It's just funny how the latest Word macro virus isn't described as a "Windows virus", but as a "Word virus". This particular worm has zilch to do with "Linux". -john ---------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <p>Vic Landry wrote: <em>> <em>> http://news.excite.com/news/zd/010323/14/new-lion-virus <em>> ================================================ <em>> BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group <em>> Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information. <em>> Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to change <em>> your subscription information. <em>> ================================================ ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
