Worm.Linux.Adm
is an Internet worm that infects Linux systems. The worm
sends a small portion of its code to remote computers, runs it there,
downloads its main portion, and executes it.
Infection source
: via networks; the worm spreads by sending its copies (in-
fecting remote Linux systems) using a hole in Linux protection (the so-
called "buffer overrun" breach). The hole allows sending executable
code to a remote computer and its execution there – unnoticed by an
administrator (user).
