Is it just the ISO that is inaccessible?

Mandriva recently issued the following security updates for an 
underlying component of MNF2:

Multi Network Firewall 2.0:
mnf/2.0/RPMS/apache2-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/RPMS/apache2-common-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/RPMS/apache2-mod_cache-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/RPMS/apache2-mod_disk_cache-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/RPMS/apache2-mod_proxy-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/RPMS/apache2-mod_ssl-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/RPMS/apache2-modules-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/RPMS/libapr0-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.i586.rpm
mnf/2.0/SRPMS/apache2-2.0.48-6.9.M20mdk.src.rpm

But I can't find the source (or binaries) anywhere publically accessible. 

I know that MNF2  doesn't run on 10.2LE apache2 - so how are we
meant to apply security updates to our home built MNF2?
