high Nessus Plugin ID 37044

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes several minor issues with drakxtools:

- it prevents the harddrake service to uselessly backup xorg.conf when not configuring the driver - it fixes a couple minor issues with diskdrake: o stop crashing when udev & diskdrake are competing in order to create a device node (#41832) o --dav: handle davfs2 credentials in /etc/davfs2/secrets (#44190) o --dav: handle https o
--nfs: handle host:/ (#44320) o --smb: cifs must be used instead of smbfs (#42483) o lookup for Samba master browsers too - it fixes displaying various devices in their proper category in the harddrake GUI - it handle a couple of new network driver - finish-install: o show only installed 3D desktops o adapt to new Xconfig::glx API (drak3d 1.21) o use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random to generate salt for passwords (since reading on /dev/random can block boot process) - prevent mdkapplet from crashing (#46477) - smb: fix netbios name resolution (#42483, thanks to Derek Jennings)

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
