Player web browser plug-in.

 

This update fixes several vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These

vulnerabilities are detailed in the Adobe Security bulletin APSB13-05,

listed in the References section. Specially-crafted SWF content could cause

flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when a victim

loads a page containing the malicious SWF content. (CVE-2013-0638,

CVE-2013-1369, CVE-2013-1370, CVE-2013-1372, CVE-2013-1373, CVE-2013-1374)

 

A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive

information if a victim were tricked into visiting a specially-crafted web

page. (CVE-2013-0637)

 

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which

upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.270.
