There's A Hole In Your Kernel, Dear Linus, Dear Linus...

http://open.itworld.com/4917/040105holekernel/page_1.html

The chortling by Linux fans whenever a Windows security exploit is reported was rather muffled by publication of a serious security hole in the Linux kernel. A kernel hole is exceptionally serious as a vulnerability class, since it can allow attackers to destabilize the OS or take control of the system.

Patches to fix the hole have been made available. The point worth study here is: was there any difference between the genesis, gestation, revelation, and resolution of this security issue in Linux and a similar case in Windows? The outcome of this could be a stronger recommendation for one OS type over another, or a realization that the Linux community has been overstating the case, perhaps "more than somewhat".
