MDVA-2008:024 : rpmdrake

high Nessus Plugin ID 37731

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes a crash when reading packages with an empty backport media (#36720). This is a rare bug since DVD media did not include backport media, and network media provides a non-empty backport media.

It also makes sure that a wait dialog always got destroyed (#36921).
Due to a bug, in some error cases, the dialog was not destroyed, thus blocking the GUI until rpmdrake was closed.

Last but not least, it makes MandrivaUpdate ignore backport media tagged as update (#36654).

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
