Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2006:0268 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Critical: flash-plugin security update 2006-03-15 05:00:00 UTC

Description Mark J. Cox 2006-03-15 09:16:47 UTC 
Adobe released a bulletin about Flash Player issues caused by malicious SWF
files.  I found out about this from a Microsoft advisory released yesterday. It
looks like Microsoft told Adobe about this issue and worked with them in
advance, but Red Hat was not given advance notice of this issue.

Latest Linux version is 7.0.63.0 posted 20060314

Details of the flaw are vague.
This issue probably affects flash-plugin as distributed with RHEL3 and RHEL4 extras.
