Dear suse-security-announce subscribers and SUSE LINUX users,

having provided security-relevant fixes for version 7.2 of
our home user product, SuSE Linux, for two years, we would like to inform
you that as of today, security fixes for SuSE Linux 7.2 will be
discontinued for all architectures. Vulnerabilities found after Oct 1st
2003 will not be fixed any more for SuSE Linux 7.2.

By consequence, the SuSE Linux 7.2 distribution directories on our ftp
server ftp.suse.com have been moved to the /pub/suse/discontinued/
directory tree structure; the 7.2 directories in the update trees will
follow later in October.

The discontinuation of SuSE Linux 7.2 enables us to focus on the SUSE
LINUX distributions of a newer release date to ensure that our customers
can continuously take advantage of the quality that they are used to with
SUSE LINUX products.

This announcement holds true for SuSE Linux 7.2 only. As usual, SUSE
will continue to provide update packages for the following home users
distributions:

SuSE Linux 7.3
SuSE Linux 8.0
SuSE Linux 8.1
SuSE Linux 8.2
and
SUSE LINUX 9.0
for a two-year period after the release of the respective distribution.

Please note that the maintenance cycles of SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server
products and products based on the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server operating
system are not affected by this announcement. To learn more about SUSE
LINUX business products, please visit

If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please do
not hesitate to contact the SUSE LINUX security <security at suse.de>.

Best regards,
Roman Drahtm?ller,
SUSE Security.
