I haven't heard anything about it but there is always some new security hole in open source. That is why you have to stay current with updates.

You can imagine when you get interesting, bloated code (windows - looking at YOU) how many holes can be found in that... Great thing about open sourse is how quickly a patch can be made.

The beauty of open source is that the holes get covered quickly

What makes Linux a grand success is not because it is infallible, but because it is always improving. There are thousands of volunteers working round the clock to make open source a grand success.
