Has anyone heard about this Apache exploit? Supposedly there is a mass infection using Apache's dynamic module.

Mass host hack bigger than first thought, hits 10,000 sites
Some hacked Apache servers reinfected even after clean-up and Linux reinstall

Is this for real or is this merely a isolated problem blow out of proportion to cause FUD? If this is for real, the articles did not explain how you can detect if you were infected, or how to disable Apache's dynamic module.

Is there a "dynamic module" module or is it referring to any module that is loaded by the LoadModule directive? If the later is the case than any site hosting SSL or PHP or any number of other items would be disabled. I am hoping the former is the case and there is some mysterious "dynamic module" module to be disabled. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kenneth
