1. May new vulnerabilities in Adobe flash became a thread for linux users? [URL]
2. By the way I would like to know if computer with linux can became a member or botnet somehow?
After a lot of frustration with flash on Linux (specifically Hulu), I decided to do something instead of complaining. Hardware acclerated flash is the one thing keeping Windows on my system.
Please support GPU acceleration on Linux and vote for the following bug. Mac OSX has 1000 votes. Linux has 139. Let's show Adobe that linux is just as important as OSX.
Google just announced the release of Jarlsberg, a microblogging app specifically designed to be full of bugs and security flaws.The app is being released through Google Labs and Google Code University as a security tutorial for coders. Google is encouraging programmers to try their hands at exploiting weaknesses in Jarlsberg as a way of teaching them how to avoid similar vulnerabilities in their own code.

- Unnecessary binaries with SUID/SGID flags set up.
- Users with passwords easily crackable
- Test known vulnerabilities of installed software

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to load the flash stuff in webpages, but it says i need the flash plugin.
I download the YUM rpm installer, and use yum localinstall to do it.
Terminal say: /home/wade/Download/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm: does not update installed package.
I have already tried installing it, and it says it worked fine, but I'm still unable to view flash.
You may know that there was a security release for Adobe Flash Plugin for Linux x86 but not for x86_64. There has been a development:
See : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
It works fine here. I have a Multilib Slack 13.1 stable.
I just installed Adobe Flash Player 10 and it says it's installed, when I go to firefox and Epiphany it still has flash player 9, Ive quited the browsers and everything Ive uninstalled/reinstalled still no luck.

The ten machines will have /home/student01..10 and /home/linsig01..10 as users. We want /home/student01 to be able to explore and sudo so they can learn to administer their personal machines at home. We don't want them to be able to modify (sudo) /home/linsig01. I've seen the tutorial on Access Control Lists but I'd like other input so we get it right the first time.

But try googling for actual occurrences.Greetings SmokerWith no prejudice sir: I've got a personal list of at least 75 such occurrences, just this year alone in Linux-OS's... If the Blacks wants to mess-up your OS, they do it as easy as microstuf could nuke any target Windows-98 OS today... Linux is web-page secure, only... You may think Linux is impervious to hack-attack, but it's definitely Not!.. It's just that you haven't been extremely noisy on the internet about how humanity should change its bad-attitudes towards Life and Love, before it's too late... In and from your "safe little box" you are 99.99% safe from the Blacks, IF your are silent and compliant to "North American peasant control policy".. but start doing a little "Al Gore and Greenpeace style bitching noise", and very quickly you'll discover just how unprotected your Linux powered PC really is... Ask Greenpeace and Al Gore about the max-attacks to their computer systems... I had to reinstall the OS about a hundred times this year.. Seems the big money world didn't like that I published, that "to save humanity from its impending early extinction, Money needs be extincted and replaced with something conducive to life and living and love".. They Freaked!, and slammed my PC's repeatedly, hard... Sure, Linux is reasonably secure, but it ain't perfect.

I was just wondering if there is an alternative to Adobe Flash. I just checked the Software Center and it told me that "there is no version for your architecture". As everyone is well aware a lot of sites are Flash heavy. Anyone have a solution? I am running Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on a Dell Dimension E521 with AMD Athlon X2 4200+.

I download "persistence-lesson01.zip" on [URL] and decompress it.
Code:
lesson01.html
lesson01.swf
ProductionInfo.xml
swfobject.js
On clicking "lesson01.html" it asks to "Download Adobe Flash Player". On completion of installation it popup "adobe-flashplugin is virtual".
I found following link:
adobe-flashplugin is virtual on 64bit Ubuntu 10.04 [URL]
and ran;
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
and got the package installed. On clicking "lesson01.html" it asks to "Download Adobe Flash Player" again.
I just installed a bunch of updates, and found Adobe Flash was suddenly broken. Both Chrome and Firefox report a missing plugin, even though Flash had been working perfectly with the flashplugin-nonfree package installed. So I uninstalled this package, and tried to manually download and install the package from Adobe's site, only to find they only offer 32-bit binaries, which appear to be incompatible with my 64-bit system.Has anyone else run into this problem? Why would an update suddenly break this functionality? How can I repair it?
