The virus program which was allegedly written by a graduate student from Cornell University, took advantage of an undocumented flaw in the Send.mail program.

While the program did not attempt to delete any data, it quickly captured most, if not all, of the computer ... as well. These bugs may prevent virus programs from working in different environments or cause unexpected behavior resulting in unintentional damage to specific environments. Imagine a self- replicating program filled with bugs and out of control; spreading multiple copies of itself throughout many computer systems. The result is a self-spreading buggy program. Furthermore, an attacker that actively seeks to inflict damage on other machines can easily Trojanize this good ...
