Why Is Adobe Flash On Linux Still Broken? |
As I sit reading my morning paper online I still cannot view the embedded videos due to auto-detection of my Flash player not working. One in every three or four YouTube videos crashes the browser. I remember sometime back reading that Adobe has a very small development team (possibly only one) working on the Linux port of Flash. It has occurred to me that Flash on Linux is the one major entry barrier controlling acceptance of Linux as a viable desktop operating system. No matter how stably, smoothly, efficiently, and correctly Linux runs on a machine, the public will continue to view it as second-rate if Flash keeps crashing. This is the worst example of being tied down and bound by a crappy 3rd-party product over which no Linux distribution has any control. GNASH is nice, but it just isn't there 100%. I really do have to suspect Adobe's motivation for keeping Flash on Linux in such a deplorable state. |

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-018 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Symantec PCAnywhere. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The flaw exists within the awhost32 component which is used when handling incoming connections. This process listens on TCP port 5631. When handling an authentication request the process copies the user supplied username unsafely to a fixed-length buffer of size 0x108. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM account. |
