3. Description:
The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash
Player web browser plug-in.
This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These
vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB11-12, listed
in the References section.
Multiple security flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed
certain SWF content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a
specially-crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page
containing the specially-crafted SWF content. (CVE-2011-0618,
CVE-2011-0619, CVE-2011-0620, CVE-2011-0621, CVE-2011-0622, CVE-2011-0623,
CVE-2011-0624, CVE-2011-0625, CVE-2011-0626, CVE-2011-0627)
This update also fixes an information disclosure flaw in flash-plugin.
(CVE-2011-0579)
All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which
upgrades Flash Player to version 10.3.181.14.
