Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update.

Description

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 Extras.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

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

Multiple input validation flaws were found in the way Flash Player displayed certain SWF (Shockwave Flash) content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted SWF file that could cause flash-plugin to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the specially crafted SWF content.
(CVE-2009-0520, CVE-2009-0519)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 9.0.159.0.

Solution

Update the affected flash-plugin package.
