Hi! |

I've noticed two issues with flashplayer plugin: |
| 4 |
1) if there more than one flash applet on page - only one will work, other |
| 5 |
will show gray box; same is true if two websites open in different Opera |
| 6 |
tabs, both contain flash applet, and only one of them will work |
| 7 |
(maybe this issue related only to Opera, not sure) |
| 8 |
2) some applets (internal flash applications developed in our company) |
| 9 |
don't work at all in Opera and immediately crash firefox (these applets |
| 10 |
works fine in Windows and non-hardened linux) |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I found PaX messages in logs related to this issue, and tried to: |
| 13 |
chpax -s /opt/firefox/firefox-bin |
| 14 |
chpax -s /opt/opera/lib/opera/plugins/operapluginwrapper |
| 15 |
and that helps! Now our applets works fine in both Opera and FireFox, |
| 16 |
moreover I can now open several pages with flash and they all works |
| 17 |
simultaneously (in Opera). So this solved both bugs. |
| 18 |

BTW, I'm not very happy to relax PaX protection, especially for untrusted |
| 20 |
content received from websites, like flash applets. :( |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If anybody can confirm this issue, these chpax commands probably should be |
| 23 |
added to opera and firefox ebuilds... |
| 24 |

P.S. My system is up-to-date (netscape-flash-9.0.48.0-r1, opera-9.24, |
| 26 |
mozilla-firefox-bin-2.0.0.9). |
