The first exploit which was made public via buqtraq came already
at Tue, 27 Mar 2001 14:05:54 +0200 but was delayed until the
release of 2.2.19 to give the vendors time to prepare updates.

I asked at this list already serveral times but AFAIK there was
no satisfying reaction from SuSE. Seems that you are on your
own...
BTW, I would prefere to read a statement from SuSE... But maybe
all package builder and security engineers are on holiday since
March, who knows ;)
oki,
