Re: [suse-security] New? worm

Hi, from what I heard/read this is just an automated exploit of long known vulnerabities. It was said that RH ships software that has vulnerabities that are known to be exploitable for more than half a year. This should be only dangerous to fresh installed RH systems that have not been updated als RH recommends. The same could be possible with SuSE 7.1 that still has no updated Bind (IIRC), but we all know to immediatly apply the recommended security updates after installing a new system. If you do not do this, it was possible to create some script to automate a break in. mike
