urgent flash-update due to grave bug
« on: 2013/02/27, 11:30:55 »
( http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Emergency-Flash-update-blocks-exploit-targeted-at-Firefox-1812342.html )

look for your installed flash version here:
http://www.adobe.com/de/software/flash/about

Newest Linux version: 11.2.202.273

If yours is lower, then:

Code: [Select]
update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv


Wegen schwerwiegender sicherheitslücken
( http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Schon-wieder-Notfall-Update-fuer-Flash-Player-1811996.html )
 muß das flash-plugin upgedatet werden, und zwar auf version 11.2.202.273. Mit dem link oben kann man die version feststellen.
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

Thanks for the warning michaa7.

Anyway, there's now even an easier way to check if your installed version of Flash is out of date:
Code: [Select]
update-flashplugin-nonfree --status |grep Flash

Those are commands that apply to the package flashplugin-nonfree, not packages on their own.

update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv

is not a package, it is a command.  The package is "flashplugin-nonfree".

EDIT:  Ooops, sorry Devil.  zu langsam.  :)
