Impact |
| 58 |
====== |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF |
| 61 |
file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with |
| 62 |
the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of |
| 63 |
Service via unknown vectors. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Workaround |
| 66 |
========== |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
Resolution |
| 71 |
========== |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
All Adobe Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
# emerge --sync |
| 76 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose |
| 77 |
">=www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.42.34" |
