this is NOT a "linux flaw", its a PHP flaw an old one, that has been found and fixed.

 

Advisory Release Date - 2005-06-29

xmlrpc 1.1.1 - 2005-06-30 01:20

 

Update update update... need i say more?

 

Also.. whilst I'm ranting.. xml-rpc is a piece of junk disable it ..

 

As for the "worm", gah its extremely unlikely to affect you, it needs certain things to work and the combination will be rare..
