Yes. I just learned about the kernel self protection project.
The kernel can be made much more secure just by using appropriate wise
config setup.

By the way, does SUSE have user supplied statistics, maybe for
enterprise products about hacked servers? That would be interesting to
see, what security holes real life hackers mostly use to break into
systems. Well, as far as customers are willing to give such data back to
the distributor....
