sorry to mail this to this group, but if I mailed this to the linux list I'll probably upset lots of people :)

Question: once upon a time someone told me that the linux kernel was consider
insecure (ie easily hackable) in some manner. I never found any documentation on this, and have been wonder if there's any truth in this?


Does anyone have any info on this?


Regards
