Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player, the worst of which
might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

commonly used to provide interactive websites.

Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash Player.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF
file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to bypass intended access
restrictions, bypass cross-domain policy, inject arbitrary web script,
or obtain sensitive information.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All Adobe Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=3Dwww-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.228"
