MDVA-2008:064 : draksnapshot

high Nessus Plugin ID 36273

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes a few issues in draksnapshot. It prevents the applet from crashing if DBUS is not accessible (bug #40031). The applet will also now ignore the root disc, if it's USB.

The configurator will now prevent to recursively backup the backup directory (bug #39801).

Last but not least, it will default to /media instead of /home when offering a backup point. (bug #39802)

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
