MDVA-2008:025 : drakxtools

high Nessus Plugin ID 37539

Synopsis

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

Description

This drakxtools update package fixes issues with the hardrake tool to make sure that USB keys are not auto-configured by the service at boot (#34568), and adds back the Run Config tool button in the harddrake interface (#34794).

An issue where bootloader-config would use vmlinuz-desktop or initrd-desktop.img instead of vmlinuz or initrd.img was corrected (#35721).

A crash in drakfont where it would crash on names with meta characters was also fixed (#36482).

It also contains other fixes for the bootloader-config, drakclock, draksec, and localdrake tools.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
