I updated the Flash player plugin in the infoagents locker for Linux
and Solaris, to versions 7.0.68 and 7.0.66, respectively. These
versions fix several security vulnerabilities that were announced
recently. This will be visible following tonight's volume release.
Now that we're using the Red Hat Firefox RPM, we might want to
think about installing the flash plugin RPM, as a way to improve
firefox's start-up time. The RPM seems to contain plausible
post-install and trigger scripts for updating the plugin directories
appropriately, though I have not actually tested it. This would
not help on Solaris, or with mozilla on Linux, without doing some
additional work; for Solaris, we could consider making a binary
"blob" package to install the plugin on local disk.
