Description: Sun has issued updated packages for Netscape, which address various vulnerabilities in the Macromedia Flash plugin. The first vulnerability can be exploited by malicious people to read arbitrary files on a user's system. The second vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the decoder. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a flash file with a specially crafted SWF header is executed. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code on a user's system. Solution: The Macromedia Flash plugin will no longer be included, because the latest secure version doesn't support Netscape 4.x browsers. Updated packages: ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products...6/RPMS/netscape-common-4.8-1.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products.../netscape-communicator-4.8-1.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products...PMS/netscape-navigator-4.8-1.i386.rpm SRPM: ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products...tes/i386/SRPMS/netscape-4.8-1.src.rpm
