Package: flashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1:3.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Today I have been notified of dangerous security vulnerabilities on
flash being exploited in the wild.
https://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb13-04.html
I'm very glad to check that you already provided the updated flash blobs
on http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/ therefore I
could update it painless with the script update-flashplugin-nonfree. Thanks.
But, I was thinking that maybe many users don't know still about this or
that maybe the next time this happens I won't heard about the security news.
So I think it would be very nice if you can provide within the package a
cron job (in /etc/cron.daily) that runs everyday and checks if a new
version of the flash player is available.
In case a new version is available the cronjob can automatically
download and install it or can send an email to the user. You can
provide also a file on /etc/default to allow the user configure the
behavior for this cronjob (only notify; or go ahead and
download&install). In case the internet connection is down then the
cronjob just exists gracefully
Thanks!
