A security flaw in Linux editions of IBM's DB2 database could allow unauthorized users to seize control of a database's contents...the vulnerability, which could allow a person to get "root" privileges to a DB2 database, is simple to exploit. Sounds pretty serious. I thought these kind of problems only happened to M$?

Then you should read more. Thanks for the heads-up. BTW, it sounds like an app problem, not an OS problem.

You have to access to the system to exploit it. It's not vulnerable to script kiddies on the internet.

Linux is solid, it is DB2 that...oh....nevermind. The Linux crowd is like the Clintoon supporters; they always have an excuse why a Linux problem is different.
