http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/27/1546222 Summary: if your mysql is actually listening on the network (not just localhost) you might get wormed - brief perusal says it has to do with weak root passwords. It's basically a spyware worm or some such - but certainly not something anyone would *want* on their box.
