MDVA-2008:013 : skencil

high Nessus Plugin ID 37399

Synopsis

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

Description

The package for the drawing application Skencil contained a bug which causes it not to be able to access the system fonts correctly.
Consequently, it was impossible to enter text properly in Skencil, and Skencil would consume a high level of system resources if you attempt to use the text tools. Also, Skencil would not run on x86-64 installations of Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring, crashing with an 'undefined symbol: Py_InitModule4' error.

The updated packages fix both issues, and also add Skencil to the system menus.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
