Until yesterday, I used to think that I had a quite secure
system, or at least not with well-known bugs, just by upgrading on a
regular basis the packages that Mandrake had in their updates page. I
thought that there is anybody on Mandrake reading security lists, and
things like that in order to have us warned about those threats.
But yesterday I was having a look at www.securityfocus.com and
I was very surprised when I saw that there are several known security
holes in our distro that aren't listed in the updates page.
And in reverse, situation is very similar, there are things
known and fixed by Mandrake that aren't listed on securityfocus.
So, here goes my questions:
- What should I do to have a secure system?. Well, I know I could be
reading bugtraq list and security docs all day but I have no time for
such things.
- Is Mandrake a secure distribution?
Thanks in advance.
