I saw this worm knocking; but, as of yet my FC1 box hasn't been
infected by this one.
I even double checked by checking /tmp for the /tmp/lupii file and the
open UDP ports of 7111 and 7222...

I'm also not sure where they got their post for vulnerabilities...  It
looks like someone was just looking for what version of PHP is
installed and went with that.
