  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF
    file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with
    the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of
    Service via unknown vectors.
    </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 "&gt;=www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.42.34"</code>
  </resolution>
