here's an excerpt from it -

Random JS Toolkit

A server compromise trend has been recently reported targeting multiple hosting platforms. RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, Centos 4.x and Fedora Core 6 are the most common targets. This compromise is not believed to be specific to cPanel software. This issue has been seen on systems running a variety of control panels. There are still many unknown details regarding this exploit. It has been established that this compromise requires super user privileges. An attacker will gain root access to the server by a currently unknown method. Once access is gained, a rootkit is installed in common system binaries.
