From the link: "the file is intended to run explicitly by the victim on their Linux machine." It must also be run as root. Therefor this malware is not by itself a vulnerability: obviously any program you run as root can do anything. This thing is just a payload for an attack. The actual vulnerability, if any, is the method by which the user is induced to run the thing as root. -- John Hasler john@sugarbit.com Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA
