Not to forget Symantec's overall assessment: 
"Linux.Lion.Worm
Risk Level 1: Very Low"


And the technical details from Symantec's site further support what I
said: it's a worm, not a virus, and the hole has been patched forever:
RedHat 6.2!

Symantec:
"The worm appears to spread using a known TSIG vulnerability discovered
early in 2001 to spread.

Security patches for Red Hat Linux are available at:
      * RedHat 7.0 Security Advisories:
        http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/rh7-errata-security.html
      * RedHat 6.2 Security Advisories:
