Package: pepperflashplugin-nonfree
Version: 1.8.2
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
running
update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --verbose --status
informs that
Flash Player version installed on this system : 20.0.0.228
Flash Player version available on upstream site: 20.0.0.228
While this is wrong: according to
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
the last version of chrome flash player is
20.0.0.267
Besides the version 20.0.0.228 exposes to the following 29 CVEs
CVE-2015-8459, CVE-2015-8460, CVE-2015-8634, CVE-2015-8635, CVE-2015-8636,
CVE-2015-8638, CVE-2015-8639, CVE-2015-8640, CVE-2015-8641, CVE-2015-8642,
CVE-2015-8643, CVE-2015-8644, CVE-2015-8645, CVE-2015-8646, CVE-2015-8647,
CVE-2015-8648, CVE-2015-8649, CVE-2015-8650, CVE-2015-8651
according to
https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb16-01.html
many of those critical. The present version of chrome flash player proposed by
pepperflashplugin-nonfree thus exposes to serious vulnerabilities of this
third-party software.
This seems to be related to the fact that the file
https://people.debian.org/~bartm/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/latest-stable-
verified.txt
used by update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree contains the information
20.0.0.228
on the second line.
Note that the other file
https://people.debian.org/~bartm/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/latest-unstable-
verified.txt
contains on the other hand the correct last version
20.0.0.267
Maybe this difference is related to the bug described here, the former file
being not up to date? Besides, no documented options of the command update-
pepperflashplugin-nonfree seems to be related to the later file.
Best,
Ara
