It is likely that XML-RPC for PHP vulnerabilites are same as being 
exploited in last November, the list of affected products is very long:
http://www.osvdb.org/displayvuln.php?osvdb_id=17793

This conclusion is because of same malware name being used now, several 
AV vendors say this is a variant of Linux.Lupper, BDS/Katien etc.

Some other vendors has protection too. According to Web sites of AV 
vendors Sophos sees this as Linux/Lupper-H and Trend uses name 
ELF_MARE.C (Executable Linux File), only some examples listed.
