hii,,

if u wud notice from the name of the worm as mentioned
by dshield report , it is a win32 worm so it only
infects or exploits win32 systems 
(W32 Opaserv).

Linux is impermeable as far as this worm is concerned
and lotsa others !!!


w32Opaserv exploits weak passwords on network shares
on wondows based platforms.


linux can get infected thru elf infecting viruses or
worms that attack specific vulnerabilitities in linux
based services like ssl worm !!!

Btw, all of u who r using sendmail should upgrade tot
the latest version as i suspect a sendmail worm
hitting the internet soon which wud exploit the
recently discovered vulnerability by ISS .


cheers,
Shash>>
