Hello,
Does anyone have more information on this exploit, or know if SuSE is an affected platform??

Yes, our kernels are affected, too.
The flaw described is nothing new, not only that a similar problem was
found in the ftp helper module, but also because the design of such a
module can't be secure.
Consider the masquerading helper modules something that makes things work,
not something that makes things safer.
Roman.
