Linux distributor SUSE has warned of one of the most serious security holes to date in version 2.6 of the Linux kernel, which could allow attackers to shut down a system running 2.6-based software.

The 2.6 kernel, completed at the end of last year, brings a number of enterprise-friendly features to Linux, but is still in the early stages of rolling out in commercial products. While a number of Linux vendors have released software for technical enthusiasts running the new kernel, SUSE, which is owned by Novell, is one of the few offering an enterprise product based on 2.6.
