According to the Computer Emergency Response Team at Carnegie Mellon, the Cheese worm exploits the same back door Lion used, applies a patch to eliminate the back doors left by Lion, then runs scans from the host it's just visited to find other infected machines with port 10008 open, and spreads to them, applying its patch as it goes. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
