Linux community says 'Cheese', but are they smiling?

NEWS The bug fixes a well-known security flaw on Linux servers before scanning for other infected systems on a network and attempting to patch them as well. The worm works by entering a back door installed by a previous worm called 1i0n on port 10008 of a server and closes the door to guard against future intrusions. However, industry experts are still warning that any uninvited presence on a system is essentially a bad thing. One system administrator said: "It's definitely not a good thing. Anything that gains unauthorised access to your system is illegal. It's nice for something to come along and fix things, but if somebody breaks into your house and tidies up for you they has still broken the law by gaining entry."
