  • Sandworm is not the name of the vulnerability. It's the name of a hacking campaign that happened to take advantage of CVE-2014-4114.

  • @Xander Yes, I saw that also in the Symantec article, but as the story has spread, it has gained that name. At least the two emails I got from different security vendors mentioned it as "The Sandworm" Vulnerability. Also I heard there was a hacker named 4chan the got a bunch of celebrity pictures...
