The flash-plugin package contains a Firefox-compatible Adobe Flash Player
Web browser plug-in.

Several input validation flaws were found in the way Flash Player displays
certain content. It may be possible to execute arbitrary code on a victim's
machine, if the victim opens a malicious Adobe Flash file. 
(CVE-2007-4768, CVE-2007-6242, CVE-2007-6246)

A flaw was found in the way Flash Player handled the asfunction: protocol.
Malformed SWF files could perform a cross-site scripting attack.
(CVE-2007-6244)

A flaw was found in the way Flash Player modified HTTP request headers.
Malicious content could allow Flash Player to conduct a HTTP response
splitting attack. (CVE-2007-6245)

A flaw was found in the way Flash Player processes certain SWF content. A
malicious SWF file could allow a remote attacker to conduct a port scanning
attack from the client's machine. (CVE-2007-4324)

A flaw was found in the way Flash Player establishes TCP sessions. A remote
attacker could use Flash Player to conduct a DNS rebinding attack.
(CVE-2007-5275)
