Re: Request for Flash Player 9.0.151.0 on Etch

["bugtracker@slideomania.com" <bugtracker@slideomania.com>]

Hi list and dear maintainers,

another security-related update for Adobe's Flash Player 9 for Linux is 
available [1]. Adobes security advisory [2] claims that "this potential 
vulnerability [could allow an attacker] to take control of the affected 
system".

I've already asked Christian Marillat if he'd again be so nice to provide an 
update to flashplayer-mozilla for debian-multimedia.org.

Since [2] seems to be a grave security issue, it should be either lead to a 
backports-security-announce [3] or a removal of the (vulnerable) 
flashplugin-nonfree from backports.org.

Of course a world without Flash and alikes would be a better one... *sigh*

Thanks.
