SunOS/BoxPoison virus

[Mary Pugh]

Bad News Bears! We were hit with the SunOS/BoxPoison vius on our Dynix 
WebPac server. Our virus scanner caught it before any real damage. I have 
checked the McAfee and the CERT advisory and I still don't understand how 
this virus is spread. I did not pay great attention to the bulletin I 
received because we use NT and not Sun. It appears we needed a patch for 
our IIS and that is now fixed. But how does this thing work, where did it 
spread from?
