Category: Mandriva Local Security Checks Risk factor: High Added: 16 Mar 2010
Synopsis:

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDVA-2010:100 (rootcerts).

Description:

The Adobe Flash plugin has https support, but only searches for SSL certificates in /etc/ssl/certs. This advisory provides a compatibility
symlink at /etc/ssl/certs pointing to /etc/pki/tls/certs to remedy
this problem.
Additionally this advisory also brings the latest root CA certs from the mozilla cvs dated 2010-02-16. The mozilla nss library has consequently been rebuilt to pickup these changes and are also being
provided.
Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.
