MDVA-2008:105 : locales

high Nessus Plugin ID 36709

Synopsis

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

Description

A flaw in the locales packages could make the spell checker in OpenOffice.org and other programs to not work as intended (bug #39789). This was a side-effect of the locales packges not updating the _install_langs rpm macro on the system with provided locale variants for some cases. This update also contains additional fixes for issues that affect the stable releases of Mandriva 2008.0 and 2008.1.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
