  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,
    possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
    of the user running the Macromedia Flash Player, or sensitive data
    access.
    </p>
  </impact>

    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Macromedia Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-plugins/adobe-flash-9.0.48.0&quot;</code>
