Kernel security

Warning! There are serious problems with all Linux kernels prior to version 2.2.19. Among these are possibilities for local denial of service or root exploits by exercising race conditions between the ptrace, exec, and/or suid system calls. Programs which exploit these problems have existed since middle of april. See www.securityfocus.com/bugtraq/archive for more info. A SuSE Security Announcement and a new kernel rpm are needed!
