This will stop the threat, but at the expense of letting anyone who has shell access use the gnu c compiler. However, most of us either don't give people shell access, or if we do, don't want them to compile programs; for most of us it's a good fix. One thing to remember; if you do this, then when following instructions to install software, even though the instructions may say you can run the "make" command at any user and only need root access for "make install", you'll need to run "make" (for most installs) as root after this change is made. Since once the program is run on your computer you're going to be attacked you also should block the port the attacks come in on (if memory serves it's port 2002).
