Rumor? Gentoo Virus?


Hey Guys,

One of my System Admin friends told me that there was a release of a Gentoo Linux virus? I haven't found anything expect for the large amount of security holes in various packages on a Gentoo box. Has anyone heard of this "virus"?

Thanks in advance,

Darkstar274

If there was one I think it would show up on the Gentoo security announcements page.
