The updated packages remove the suid bit from mformat. Affected versions: 9.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2004:016 Risk factor : High
