Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-18 16:23:20 UTC 
CVE-2008-5499 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-5499):
  Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player for Linux 10.0.12.36,
  and 9.0.151.0 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute
  arbitrary code via a crafted SWF file.

Copying netscape-flash-10.0.12.36-r1.ebuild to netscape-flash-10.0.15.3.ebuild
and doing a digest results in a working ebuild which reportedly does not
suffer from this problem.

There has been some confusion here, apparently. We have this bug + a comment in bug 239543 which mainly says the same as this one.
I prefer to keep handling CVE-2008-5499 in this bug and leave the other one as-is, as it has already left [stable] status.

So, according to Jim, the necessary version is in the tree now and ready to be stabled.

Arches, please test and mark stable:
  =net-www/netscape-flash-10.0.15.3
Target keywords: amd64 x86
Comment 4 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-23 12:41:55 UTC 
actually cc'ing arches :-)
Comment 5 Markus Meier gentoo-dev 2008-12-23 17:10:37 UTC 
amd64/x86 stable, all arches done.
Comment 6 Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-29 20:09:51 UTC 
GLSA request filed.
