> JBoss worm exploiting old bug to infect unpatched servers

Old bugs, it seems, do not die – nor do they fade away – as Dennis Fisher, editor of Kaspersky Lab's ThreatPost newswire says that there is a new worm in the wild that is compromising servers running older versions of the JBoss Application Server and then adding them to a botnet. The worm, he added, also attempts to install a remote access tool in order to give the attacker control over the newly infected server.
