MDVA-2009:063 : mdkonline

high Nessus Plugin ID 47908

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes several issues with mdkapplet.

On 2009.1 PowerPack, mdkonline wrongly set up the 2009.0 restricted media instead of the 2009.1 ones (#50478).

Mdkapplet checks once a day if a new distribution is availlable. When checking again for updates (every 3 hoours by default), mdkapplet forgot to warn about the new distribution. It now remembers that a new distro is availlable (#50535).

When adding restricted media on PowerPack, one might have to cancel several time in some cases (#48999).

Last but not least, mdkapplet won't complain when network is down if net_applet is running since the later will already warn about this.

This update fixes all of those issues.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
