Synopsis

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

Description

In certain rare circumstances, any area of an NTFS volume, excluding the NTFS boot sector, could get corrupted. The chances for this to happen are greater when the disk is close to full utilization and when using one of the more uncommon, less than 4096 byte cluster sizes. The updated packages correct this issue.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
