Here's what Symantec has to say about it.

I'm seeing this on a number of Linux specific mailing lists this
morning, as well as a number of bounces back to me with my e-mail
address as the sender; so apparently it not only searches hard drives
for e-mail addresses to send to, but it also must use e-mail addresses
to spoof as the sender.
