Fedora 20: Firefox Reports Flash as Vulnerable

Wed, 04 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

This problem starts with Firefox reporting that your flash-plugin is out of date. This report looks like this and disables all flash.

After this we will take a look Mozilla’s Plugin Check to see what it thinks is going on.

Now here we can see that version 11.2.202.440 is vulnerable. We will then check about:plugins to see if it agrees.

Again this is also reporting 11.2.202.440, so there must be a problem, but it also tells us that there is an update available. Now I run regular yum updates on this machine, and I actually noticed flash-plugin was updated just a few hours prior to seeing this alert. So lets check the installed version.
