Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Critical
Topic
An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes multiple security issues
is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Critical
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores,
which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability

Description
The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash
Player web browser plug-in.
This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These
vulnerabilities are detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB14-14,
listed in the References section.
Multiple flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed certain SWF

SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute
arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF
content. (CVE-2014-0510, CVE-2014-0517, CVE-2014-0518, CVE-2014-0519,

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which
upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.359.
