Programmers have found a vulnerability in Linux that could allow protective firewall software to grant malicious computer users access to protected networks.

Versions 7.1 and 7.2 of leading Linux seller Red Hat's product are vulnerable. The Durham, N.C.-based company issued a patch Thursday that corrects the problem.

if you added the Netlifter Firewall you are vulnerable. I would strongly recommend geting the path from RedHat (http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/)
