MDVA-2009:161 : silc-toolkit

high Nessus Plugin ID 47953

Synopsis

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

Description

The silc-toolkit was linked in a wrong way, it depended on symbols no longer exported by libidn. This made it impossible to use the SILC protocol from pidgin. This update changes the linking to use the included IDN resolver instead of libidn.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
