Korean Mozilla Linux Binaries Infected

How's this for "fun"? ;-)

Magnus writes over on Slashdot:

[snip]

"Korean distributions of Mozilla and Thunderbird for Linux were infected with Virus.Linux.RST.b. This virus searches 
for executable ELF files in the current and /bin directories and infects them. It also contains a backdoor, which 
downloads scripts from another site, and executes them, using a standard shell."
