A new worm that propagates by exploiting security vulnerabilities in Web server software is attacking Linux systems, antivirus companies warned on Monday.The worm spreads by exploiting Web servers that host susceptible scripts at specific locations, according to antivirus software maker McAfee, which has named the worm "Lupper."
McAfee rates Lupper as low risk. Symantec, which calls the worm "Plupii," rates it medium risk, but notes that the worm has not been widely distributed. The SANS Internet Storm Center, which tracks network threats, reports some worm sightings. [C|Net News]
