Title: urgent flash-update due to grave bug
Post by: michaa7 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.

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Anyway, there's now even an easier way to check if your installed version of Flash is out of date: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

Code: [Select]

pol update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv
provides me:

Code: [Select]

pol update-flashplugin-nonfree
N: Paket update-flashplugin-nonfree kann nicht gefunden werden.

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

Code: [Select]

update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv

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

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