Is This the Dawn of the Linux Worms?

“The Luppi worm is blazing a trail with great potential for attackers. We might learn a lot about how secure Linux systems are in the next few months. While the authors [of the worm] are clearly still feeling their way around, there’s no reason to believe that this will be a real biggie. But if someone writes a well-designed ‘grab bag’ worm to exploit the various bugs in PHP and other products common on Linux servers, we could have a problem on our hands.”
