They've looked the problem again, the root of the problem seems to be an older vulnerability: Still not sure if it's a false alarm or not, but it's better to be safe than sorry ;) http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2008/05/potential_flash_player_issue.html http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/29386 Quoting: "NOTE: Further research indicates that this vulnerability is the same issue described in BID 28695 (Adobe Flash Player Multimedia File Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability), so this BID is being retired. " Possible root of the problem: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/28695 Quoting: "Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and earlier versions are affected." but all in all, theo's right.. if it was open source it would've been easier to release a patch after being thoroughly looked through by thousands of free software developers :) -- Ubuntu-cy mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-cy
