Maybe still remotely interesting for this list - the output of strings run on the posted bliss executable contains some fragments that look as if the virus tries to modify the kernel sources such that a call to umask(2) with the appropriate parameter will set uid/gid/euid/egid to root. I didn't verify that bliss acctually does this but just the thought ...
