I am proposing that we use "execstack -c libflashplayer.so" in order to solve this issue in addition to the 7.0.61 security errata coming soon in Bug #172731. I need to talk to Macromedia in order to confirm a license exemption in this trivial modifcation of their binary. We're promised this will be fixed upstream therefore removing the need to binary modification. Despite installing the RPM named "flash-plugin-7.0.61-1", flash support is not available on a freshly installed rawhide system which is apparently due to the executable stack protection. Joachim, your issue is a separate issue where Flash Plugin internally uses text relocation, which is bad. Only Macromedia can solve this issue. Fixed in flash-plugin-7.0.63+ |
