high Nessus Plugin ID 37460

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes two minor issues with keyutils. request-key was installed in /usr/sbin while the kernel expect it in /sbin directory.
keyctl was installed in /usr/bin instead of /bin.

This update also add lines to /etc/request-key.conf for cifs.upcall required for krb5 support for mount.cifs.

This update fixes both issues.

Update:

The previous update had the release number set to lower than what was expected by the samba security update, causing that one to fail. This new update fixes the release number, thus fixing the samba upgrade.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
