I guess you're thinking "hehehe, and they thought nobody would
notice!". Well, actually the worm takes advantage of a vulnerability
announced in late July. RH backported that patch in early August that
fixes this vulnerability, and thus the worm. So, if you are applying
updates as recommended, you are in good shape. And have been for a
while now.
