[LUAU] Millenium Worm

[Mike Ballon]

What exactly did it attack that was RedHat specific?  There have been fixes
to release any security flaws that were release in the base 5.2 release so
I'm curious.  Did it attack a known problem that was not patched from the
base install or did it find another way in?
