4 caused by possible buffer overruns evident in the previous 6.0.69 version.

12 May I suggest that the new 6.0.79 version of flash player plugin be
13 entered into the stable branch of the portage tree? Not only is it more
14 secure but in my experience the browsers are more stable on flash enabled
15 pages too.
