MDVA-2008:115 : drakxtools

high Nessus Plugin ID 38111

Synopsis

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

Description

This drakxtools update contains file leaks and automatic disk discovery fixes. The network driver detection used to leak file descriptors, meaning that network applications like the wireless tool or the network center stopped working after extended use. The automatic disk discovery tool did not correctly mark new media as removable, and thus they were checked at every boot, which stopped the boot process if the media was not present. Both problems are fixed in this update.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
