The latest one is a java based exploit that hits both Linux and Windows. It was announced within the past week. CERT is a good place to go looking for exploits. Running as root for system maintenance makes sense. Running as root routinely day after day is asking for problems. Perhaps the worst malware that exists is the interface between the screen and the keyboard making a typo or a thinko.

horrors expressed about running as root.

No one has ever been able to tell me where to find it.
