http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/04/urgent-fix-for-zero-day-m... Macs get it too. Linux theoretically can get these problems, but because every Linux machine is different, the malware would have to be written to be cross-distribution. (ie: One may work in Debian, but not in Fedora / Red Hat... depending on how things work out). Nonetheless, some people write viruses for Debian specifically:
http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?id=1.3.6.1... It won't work on Red Hat, but the x86-specific 64-bit Debian was an attractive enough target for whoever wrote that one... I'm sure I can find a Red Hat Virus, Fedora Virus, Ubuntu virus, etc. etc. But they become increasingly rarer and rarer the fewer people use that specific distribution / OS. |
