Technical description:

Linux.Ramen is a collection of Linux scripts and utilities that arrives on the infected
system as Ramen.tgz. Since this worm only operates on the Linux operating system, users
of Microsoft Windows will be largely unaffected. This worm attempts to locate web
servers that are running Red Hat Linux versions 6.2 or 7.0.
