This must be a major blow in the face for Linux. This is not the first time that Linux Kernel, the core of OS, have been know to have a flaw.
Security researchers are warning of potentially serious vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel that could allow malicious hackers to gain full super-user privileges. The vulnerability affects the 2.6.x branch prior to version 2.6.3 and the Linux kernel memory management code. Experts note that the latest bug is unrelated to a previous vulnerability in the same internal kernel function code.
