Virus designed to take down an Oracle server?

Have you known of a virus/worm designed to take
down an Oracle server (port 1521)?



On a very related note:


I captured and froze a virus/worm in my recently
installed RedHat Linux 7.3 server.  There were several
files in /usr/sbin/ such as: mech, mech.info, mech.*, etc.



A 'ps aux' revealed a "cp ./mech" which is definitely
self replicating stuff.



Apparently this virus takes its name from a "Mech Assault"
video game.



Any info on this mech virus is very much appreciated.
