Re: Is Flash 9.0.31 secure enough?

This is the wrong mailing list, I think 
debian-security@lists.d.o would be appropriate. Anyway, 
CVE-2007-5275 is not the only issue which was fixed 
recently, have a look at: 
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-20.html

The update fixes:
CVE-2007-6242, CVE-2007-4768, CVE-2007-5275, CVE-2007-6243,
CVE-2007-6244, CVE-2007-6245, CVE-2007-4324, CVE-2007-6246
and CVE-2007-5476. Since this fixes also vulnerabilities 
leading to code execution it is at least not secure to stay 
with this version.

However I think reinstalling the package 
should solve this as the package just downloads the 
install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz tarball from the adobe 
site and the name did not change after the security update.

Kind regards
Nico
