ANY web server can pass the infected files. You will happily pull it right through your firewall via port 80. Once on the disk, your operating system/applications will dictate what happens next. The exploit wasn't targeted at Linux applications/shared libraries...yet. Given all the effort at compatibility to view multi-media files, it is just a matter of time before such an exploit happens. Windows is just a much bigger target.
Ha, does anyone see a parallel here: relying on Microsoft to provide the patch is like
- relying on the police to protect individual citizens
- relying on government to protect the border
