This version has a temporary file vulnerability which can be exploited
to gain root access. You should not install this version on a public web
server since this race could be used in conjunction with a remote
exploit for Apache (e.g. based on OpenSSL or PHP4). See
http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5352 for details.

I guess you have to sign a service contract with SuSE to get a fixed
package, though. I could only find fixed SuSE packages for i386,
PowerPC, Alpha and SPARC - so it's available for all supported SuSE
architectures except S/390.
