No.  Don't even think about trying that.  The result will likely be uglier than 
the vulnerability.  And, as Marcy noted, the fix from SUSE was released today, 
just as everyone else has done.

The way things like this work is that (assuming a discreet vulnerability report 
was made initially), the various Linux vendors "embargo" any public mention of 
the bug or fixes for it.  Then, when the appropriate date arrives to end the 
embargo, public announcements are made, concurrent with publication of the fix.
