an attack targetting brazilian linux users


How does it infect the machine, what is the vector? There does not seem to be any privilege escalation


You need to cd src; ./confugure ; ... (install 20 libraries with dependencies); ./configure; make ; su make install


How about the static linked executables? No LD_PRELOAD? The technique is at least 10 years old. I guess this is cutting edge hacking at blackberry - the Iphone killer.
