   William, I'm still using Mandriva 2009.0 myself (because I cannot work   
   out how to get the other various Mandriva/Mageia to connect to the   
   Internet using my 3G USB Dongle)   
      
   Could you provide pointers as to how I, and others, can download and   
   install the requisite updates so that we can be safe, again??
