The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.Description
The udev rules for network interfaces used to write persistent settings for hso devices in /etc/udev/rules.d/61-net_config.rules, which is wrong since their MAC address is random (#39977).The udev rules for automatic driver loading used to load video drivers during the dkms service start, which could break Xorg start if the loaded driver was not configured.
This update fixes both issues.
