Description:   Opened: 2008-12-18 16:23 0000 
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.

------- Comment #1 From DrChandra the Gentoo Person 2008-12-18 16:29:41 0000 ------- 
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.

*** Bug 251653 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

------- Comment #3 From Christian Hoffmann 2008-12-21 21:20:37 0000 ------- 
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 From Robert Buchholz 2008-12-23 12:41:55 0000 ------- 
actually cc'ing arches :-)

------- Comment #5 From Markus Meier 2008-12-23 17:10:37 0000 ------- 
amd64/x86 stable, all arches done.

------- Comment #6 From Tobias Heinlein 2008-12-29 20:09:51 0000 ------- 
GLSA request filed.

------- Comment #7 From Pierre-Yves Rofes 2009-03-10 22:33:17 0000 -------
