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 in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB14-09,
listed in the References section.
Two 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 malicious SWF content.
(CVE-2014-0506, CVE-2014-0507)
A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive
information if a victim were tricked into visiting a specially crafted web
page. (CVE-2014-0508)
A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to conduct cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks if a victim were tricked into visiting a specially
crafted web page. (CVE-2014-0509)
All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which
upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.350.
