Should I be worried about the CodeRed Worm?
Dear all, I'm hearing more noises that the Code Red Worm is becoming a serious problem. See : http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/codered.worm.html Although they only mention Microsoft Windows 2000 and IIS webserver, I can't find any clearance/danger notes for other webservers running on systems different from Microsoft. Can someone verify that this worm has no effect on Apache 2.3.20 running on S.u.S.E. 7.2 with Kernel 2.4.4?

I'm hearing more noises that the Code Red Worm is becoming a serious problem. yeah, for M$ losers ;-) Although they only mention Microsoft Windows 2000 and IIS webserver, I can't find any clearance/danger notes for other webservers running on systems different from Microsoft. Can someone verify that this worm has no effect on Apache 2.3.20 running on S.u.S.E. 7.2 with Kernel 2.4.4? You mean Apache 1.3.20? There is no known problem with Apache, at there will never (ok, never say never, but ...) be the same problem on two totally different webservers like Apache and IIS.
