Внимание, Червь на базе последней уязвимости для Samba 2.0 и 2.2 уже
путешествует и заражает. Рекомендую проинформировать своих администраторов
и пользователей о необходимости немедленного обновления. В случае
заражения деактивация червя возможна посредством утилиты, описанной внизу
письма.

Quite some hosts at the University of Twente here in Holland have been 
infected (they use SMB and an web-based index program to share files 
over the campus). Here is some more info:

The worm can be disabled using:
/usr/share/locale/sk/.sx12/sk u
