high Nessus Plugin ID 37852

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes several minor issues with rpmdrake, including preventing a rare crash when canceling and fixing a crash when selecting all packages. It also corrects another rare crash when installing packges with strange non-standard names, packages not provided by Mandriva.

Finally, it also makes MandrivaUpdate fit in laptop screens (i.e.
when the resolution only has 480 horizontal lines).

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
