Secunia has release a new advisory for SUSE linux users to point them to the update of the PHP packages on their system to correct a highly critical issue.   SUSE has issued an update for php. This fixes some vulnerabilities, where some have unknown impacts and others can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information, to bypass certain security restrictions, to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.   Operating systems included in the advisory are systems running SUSE Linux, UnitesLinux, and openSUSE linux. Package updates are linked from the advisory so you can quickly and easily update your packages.

(InfoWorld) - Microsoft and Novell will enable virtualization for each other's server operating systems as part of the companies' ongoing alliance to make Windows and Linux more interoperable. Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 Service Pack 1 will let users host Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 as a virtualized guest, and the next version of Windows Server, code-named Longhorn, will have the ability to host Novell's Linux OS as an enlightened guest using built-in virtualization technology. In turn, Suse Linux Enterprise Sever 10, using Xen virtualization technology that is embedded in the OS, will be able to host Longhorn as a paravirtualized guest. Enlightenment and paravirtualization are different terms that describe similar, but not identical, techniques to improve performance. An enlightened guest OS is modified to make it aware it's running on Windows Server virtualization. A paravirtualized guest OS is modified to make it aware it's running on the Xen hypervisor. A virtualized guest OS running on Virtual Server 2005 R2 does not require modifications to make it aware it's running in a virtual machine. Thus, it is not "enlightened" or "paravirtualized." Longhorn, the long-awaited update to Windows Server, is due in the second half of 2007. Virtualization is just one of four key areas on which the companies said Monday they will focus their collaborative efforts this year. The other areas are Web services-based network management, directory interoperability, and document format interoperability. In the Web services-based management area, Microsoft and Novell said that they will both incorporate WS-Management (Web services for management) in their products to enable OS management through Web services. Novell ZENworks Orchestrator and Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 will both support WS-Management this year. WS-Management is a specification of a Web services-based protocol for the management of servers, devices, and applications. Microsoft, Intel, Dell, and other companies published the spec in March 2005, and it was ratified by the Distributed Management Task Force for adoption as a preliminary standard in August 2006. Novell also is working to develop an open-source implementation of WS-Management, the company said. Microsoft and Novell already have introduced technologies to make communication between the global standard file format for office documents, ODF (Open Document Format for XML), and the default file format in Microsoft Office 2007, Open XML, easier. On Feb. 2, Microsoft announced the availability of theÂ Open XML/ODF TranslatorÂ for Office 2007, Office 2003, and Office XP. Later this month, Novell will release an Open XML/ODF Translator for the Novell edition of the OpenOffice.org open-source productivity suites. On the directory and identity-management fronts, both companies continue to work on technologies to make their offerings in these areas interoperate, but they have not announced specific progress yet. Microsoft and Novell said they will offer a more detailed roadmap for how their directory and identity management products will interoperate later this year. As part of the deal struck in March, Novell and Microsoft agreed, among other things, to co-develop technologies that would help Novell's Suse Linux and Microsoft's Windows OSes interoperate more seamlessly. The alliance between the two -- particularly Novell's payment to Microsoft for patents -- has inspired much controversy. Novell especially seems to have lost some credibility within the open-source community for joining forces with the proprietary software giant.

Novell is preparing a private beta test for Open Enterprise Server, a networking platform that combines open source and commercial software. The initial test will last through November, with a public beta test slated to follow. Open Enterprise Server includes both SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and NetWare operating systems. The final product will ship in February, and "will deliver the best of both worlds to customers," according to Novell.

Bidirectional virtualisation is virtually there The possibilities for recursive virtualisation have just increased, with Novell and Intel announcing that you can now run Windows unmodified on Novell's SUSE Linux, via Xen and an Intel VT-capable processor, while Microsoft says an upcoming service pack will let its Virtual Server run SUSE Linux as a virtualised guest.â¦

Wake up little SUSE, Wake up.  No, that's not good enough.  Wake up SUSE customers, wake up.  Novell is jeopardizing the future of Linux for its own short-term rewards. If you want to see Linux flourish, let alone survive after Novell's five year deal with Microsoft expires, I suggest we make an alternative five year deal with Microsoft. In this case, our part of the deal is to spend the next five minutes, months, or years migrating away from every shred of Novell/SUSE software in our home, office, or enterprise.
