Linux.Satyr.a
Description Linux.Satyr.a
This is a harmless non-memory resident parasitic Linux virus. The virus is a Linux executable module (ELF file). It searches for other ELF files in the system, and then infects them. The virus infects files in the following directories:
current directory
parent directory
~/ (user root directory)
~/bin (user /bin directory)
~/sbin (user /sbin directory)
/bin
/sbin
/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin/X11
While infecting, the virus moves a victim's file contents down, and writes itself to the file header. To release control to the host file, the virus "disinfects" it to a temporary file and executes it.
The virus does not manifest itself in any way. Its body contains the "copyright" text string:
