- Worm
This is a worm that attempts to insert itself onto systems running Red Hat Linux 6.2 and 7.x, and possibly other System V-based Linux versions, that have already been compromised by any other backdoor that has root privileges. It then attempts to remove any other backdoor Trojans on that system, and then tries to spread itself to other similar system across the Internet.
NOTE: If this worm is discovered on a system, it indicates the system was previously compromised
