Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu)
Fix Released

Unassigned

Bug Description

e.g. flashplugin-nonfree that I belive is widely used even among Ubuntu users is not updated in Multiverse even if it has a serious security problem http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-18.html that has a fixing update available. Thus it is likely that many Ubuntu users have this have this vulnerability in their system. Luckily there is a fix in Backports and Partner (adobe-flashplugin), but users are not warned enough to enable such a repository to complement or replace Multiverse repository.
