The version number doesn't matter. https://svnweb.mageia.org/advisories/32357.adv?view=markup shows it's fixed.
Mageia doesn't update to new versions in stable releases, as a new version may drop features or change how things are used. When there's a fix, whether it's for a security bug or a bug that doesn't obviously impact security, it's done by applying a patch to the existing version and increasing the sub release
number. Exceptions are made when the patch can not be back ported, but that's rare, and it's tested to ensure it either doesn't affect current usage or that
everyone is warned as clearly as possible.
I'm no longer an active member of Mageia, but still use it.

Hello David,
If I may ask: why are you no longer an active member of Mageia?
I'm allways impressed by your deep knowledge of the distro, and the understandable answers you give to difficult questions.
In fact, people like you inspired me to wish to contribute to the distro
by helping with translations. Hope to be active in this role soon.
Regards from Amsterdam,
I posted privately to the board and council. The text was made public (which I'm
fine with) in https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/qa-discuss/2023-09/msg00174.html

Primarily due to health as I just don't have the energy to continue
doing the
tasks the way they should be done, and dealing with the frustrations
that go
along with that.
There were some events that triggered it to be now instead of later.
Those events
have since been resolved, but I've made the choice not to return as an active
member. I'll still be using Mageia, and will answer questions when I
can, but will
leave it to others to take over the roles I had.

Not sounding good. I have been using and liking Mandrake/Mageia for many
many years now, but I must admit that solving problems has bee slow (the wireless Mageia Network center is an example).
It's too bad. and is going to be a pain for me to get used to a
different distro.

Concur completely about a pain to get used to a different distro.
Red Hat does have a free version. The procedures to get and install
it changed from the old Fedora maybe 18 months ago. I may delay
and see how things go for a time, with an eye to shifting to Red Hat
when no alternative or most convenient.

As per my previous response, the issues have been resolved. Besides
those specific issues, my stepping down and tmb leaving forced a
number of other people to review the situation. Several new people
have stepped forward to contribute their time and skills, so overall
I think it will be good for Mageia.
I'll still be using Mageia,
and respond to questions when I can.--

Yes, the loss of two such valuable contributors as Thomas Backlund and
Dave Hodgins has made us stumble a bit, but we are getting back on our
feet. Slowly perhaps, but we are getting there.
Give us some time. Remember, we are all volunteers, doing this in our
spare time.

I am not going to change distro unless I find it necessary, and
perhaps it will not be. Mandrake, Mandriva and Mageia have served
me well for years, and perhaps Mageia will last longer than I will.
Would that UNIX System V Rel 2 had continued and been updated,
but I gave up on that when I abandoned the AT&T PC 6300+ as
my home computer. Late 1990s? Early 21st Century?
