The attacker could also cause a user's machine to establish TCP sessions with arbitrary hosts, bypass the Security Sandbox Model, obtain sensitive information, port scan arbitrary hosts, or conduct cross-site-scripting attacks. </p> </impact> <workaround> <p> There is no known workaround at this time. </p> </workaround> <resolution> <p> All Adobe Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version: </p> <code> # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-plugins/adobe-flash-9.0.115.0"</code> <p> Please be advised that unaffected packages of the Adobe Flash Player have known problems when used from within the Konqueror and Opera browsers. </p> </resolution> <references> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4324">CVE-2007-4324</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4768">CVE-2007-4768</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-5275">CVE-2007-5275</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6242">CVE-2007-6242</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6243">CVE-2007-6243</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6244">CVE-2007-6244</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6245">CVE-2007-6245</uri> <uri link="https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6246">CVE-2007-6246</uri> <uri link="https://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200711-30.xml">GLSA 200711-30</uri> </references> <metadata tag="requester" timestamp="2008-01-01T22:05:12Z"> rbu </metadata> <metadata tag="submitter" timestamp="2008-01-15T17:34:55Z"> rbu </metadata> <metadata tag="bugReady" timestamp="2008-01-15T17:41:04Z"> rbu </metadata> </glsa>
