Credible sitejacking threat

This exploit appears to have affected, among others, the UK's National Health Service, so it probably warrants attention.

If I read this correctly though it only affects .asp pages, so anybody on Linux with .php would not be hit?

While it does hit asp sites the technique could be used on any DB based site. Its a standard SQL injection and replaces images or image code.

For any windows server operators then have a look at URLscan version 3 as it can fend it off until you get the code fixed. Similarly htaccess should be able to deal with any attempts on php. Just look for CAST, DECLARE, EXEC etc.....
