Just to split hairs, Gimmiv is a trojan, not a worm. It's just a keylogger. It in and of itself does not spread. I have no idea why the Threatexpert blogger called it a worm, everyone else calls it a trojan. While I do not claim to be an expert, the samples I have seen with my own eyes are trojans and don't have the ability to spread. That said, it won't take much for someone to write self-replicating code exploiting this vulnerability.
