If you are using Mandriva, then you could and should subscribe 
directly to the announce or security mailing list there.

I really prefer the step e.g. Ubuntu (and also some other Linux 
distribution I do not remember) have taken about 2 years ago. 
They stopped sending out their security announces to Bugtraq and 
Full-Disclosure. I would be happy if other distributions or 
projects, with such high volume of announces, would do the same.
