MDVA-2010:148 : msec

high Nessus Plugin ID 48116

Synopsis

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

Description

This update fixes a number of issues in msec: - this update fixes incorrect German localization for msecperms messages (bug #51005) - this update allows to import legacy perm.local permissions configuration file, which could be installed by third-party applications - this update fixes a crash when pam_unix is used together with msec (bug #58018). Note that this configuration is not used by Mandriva Linux usually, but can be employed in some custom environments. - this update adds a IGNORE_PID_CHANGES variable to filter changes in process PIDs when reporting changes in network configuration (bug #56744). To use this functionality, add a IGNORE_PID_CHANGES=yes into /etc/security/msec/security.conf, and changes in listening network ports will be ignored during periodic checks. - this update fixes an issue when chkrootkit results were not properly excluded by the exceptions list (bug #58076)

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
