MDVA-2008:062 : drakxtools

high Nessus Plugin ID 36268

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

This update fixes several minor issues:

- some GUIes (eg: rpmdrake) would crash on clicking on the close button while they load (bug #35230)

- draksec was crashing if the administrator refused to install (bug #38911)

- localdrake: After changing the localization language from drakconf in a high security level, the permissions of /etc/sysconfig/i18n were changed such that the file was only readable by root. This caused graphical login via kdm to fail (bug #39027)

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
