I was just wondering if anyone knows if a new LINUX virus that is posted
at SARC

http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/linux.jac.8759.html

is capable of infecting ELF executables on the BSD platform. There is
little information about this posted there, I couldn't find any info
about it at sophos, and a google search pointed me back to Symantec.

I ran across it while looking at information on the new W32.Gibe worm that
poses as an MS Security Update, so I figured I'd ask to see if anyone here
knows about this.

Cheers,
