MDVA-2010:107 : pulseaudio

high Nessus Plugin ID 48088

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of PulseAudio shipped with 2010.0 has had numerous bug fixes since it was released. This updates the PulseAudio package to 0.9.21 which contains most of the bug fixes (the package versions from 0.9.17 through 0.9.21 are all considered bugfix updates).
Additional fixes from the upstream stable-queue branch are also included in this package. The fixes include better support for variations in ALSA mixer elements, bluetooth fixes and general stability fixes.

Additionally, the alsa library shipped with 2010.0 had some flaws in the way certain timer events were handled and with how paramaters were set for some input devices (most notably the microphone in some Logitech Web Cams). Fixes for these flaws are also included.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
