Linux distributor Novell SuSE released a security advisory with a severity rating of nine out of 10 last week warning of a flaw in Linux kernel 2.6.

The bug affects the company's enterprise and consumer products-- SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and SuSE Linux Professional 9.1.

Roman Drahtmueller, head of Linux security at SuSE Linux, said this version of the kernel is available to all Linux distributers, but as SuSE is one of the few commercial distributions to actually use the 2.6 kernel it was a priority for them to resolve the security hole quickly.
