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:
