Multiple security flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed

containing the specially-crafted SWF content. (CVE-2012-0752,
CVE-2012-0753, CVE-2012-0754, CVE-2012-0755, CVE-2012-0756)

A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to conduct cross-site
scripting (XSS) attacks if a victim were tricked into visiting a
specially-crafted web page. (CVE-2012-0767)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which
upgrades Flash Player to version 10.3.183.15.
