high Nessus Plugin ID 37864

Synopsis

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

Description

The bootsplash text messages were not correctly appearing at startup (bug #38882).

The /dev/fb0 device was missing in early boot and bootsplash initialization was complaining about it (bug #38338).

The shutdown process of network services could be troublesome, because resolvconf would be stopped too early.

The updated package fixes these issues.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
