Hello

The 6.0.79 release of flash player plugin fixes dangerous vulnerabilities
caused by possible buffer overruns evident in the previous 6.0.69 version.
 Here are the details.

Freshmeat project page (release 6 March 2003)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/115318/
Macromedia security announcement & changelog
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/security/security_zone/mpsb03-03.html

May I suggest that the new 6.0.79 version of flash player plugin be
entered into the stable branch of the portage tree?  Not only is it more
secure but in my experience the browsers are more stable on flash enabled
pages too.

Many thanks
Dhruba Bandopadhyay
