We have been receiving multiple attacks directed towards the popular
open source portal and content management system, Mambo. The attacks
makes use of the "mosConfig_absolute_path" file inclusion
vulnerability of certain unpatched versions of the said application.
In this case, a possibly malicious file called "micu" is downloaded in
the process of the attack.

I'd say this is fairly old news. We have been seeing these attacks since shortly
after the advisory for the hole. micu is just your standard ddos/backdoor tool
and the kids using it are mostly romanian and from south america.
What worries me more is that we are also seeing a massive increase in
non-application-specific PHP inclusion attacks. Seems like there are several
spiders that just try injecting http://-style URLs into any URI parameter they
see on a given domain.
