This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-4033 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-4235 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 4.0: cc578555f4de1362cd8ea344a8b6a184 corporate/4.0/i586/acpid-1.0.4-6.4.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm 0b8535180ecdae336003fcc220488716 corporate/4.0/SRPMS/acpid-1.0.4-6.4.20060mlcs4.src.rpm Corporate 4.0/X86_64: 7ab456d04757a0aba4011e1f818b50ad corporate/4.0/x86_64/acpid-1.0.4-6.4.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm 0b8535180ecdae336003fcc220488716 corporate/4.0/SRPMS/acpid-1.0.4-6.4.20060mlcs4.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
