If what Qualys says is true, this is a Trojan horse/virus/worm. However, I'd hardly believe that such a thing could propagate very far or very well, given that the attachment would have to be opened -- intentionally -- by a user with root privilege to infect the system. And Linux users tend to be much more suspicious of binary attachments than Windows users. Is this a real threat or a PR stunt? --Brett Glass ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
