"The Web server ends up serving up vulnerabilities from 2006 related to Windows malware," Jackson told Network World. "The whole attack is very mysterious. It's based on a botnet but it doesn't match the Russian and Chinese groups and may be Western Europe or North American."The attack uses Rbot and Sdbot malware and targets vulnerabilities found in quicktime
, AOL SuperBuddy and Yahoo Messenger.
Jackson says to protect against the attack, network managers should disable "dynamic module". There is evidence of a similar attack aimed toward Microsoft's Internet Information Server, but it hasn't become widespread like the Linux attack.Permalink: Linux Apache Servers Under Attack
