plugin available.
forget about this "customization" and miss an important update, which
the use of Debian packaging system should prevent. When advising this
process it would be a good idea to add that subscribing to whatever rss
feed announcing Adobe Flash updates is a must. Many Flash targeted
attacks take advantage of out of date versions.
Yep, I am subscribed to some RSS security chanels. It's a must for admins
and in those days, for anyone browsing the web and getting into
Internet :-)
But a linux targeted flash player attack has not been successfully
exploited -at the momment-, at least to my knowledge.
And, hey, I am most worried by my Iceweasel version, that is still 3.0.6
(unsupported upstream) and I got it from standard Debian packaging system
:-)
