[Cialug] Linux Worm

[jim kraai]

It looks like an old PHP vulnerability is the exploit used.

"""Symantec has discovered a new Linux worm that appears to be engineered
to target the “Internet of things”. The worm is capable of attacking a
range of small, Internet-enabled devices in addition to traditional
computers. Variants exist for chip architectures usually found in devices
such as home routers, set-top boxes and security cameras. Although no
attacks against these devices have been found in the wild, many users may
not realize they are at risk, since they are unaware they own devices that
run Linux."""
