Shockwave Flash 11,2,202,440 disabled as vulnerable

[nostril]

Update stamp 1422619961000 does still bring up the error.

Glad you found the cause of matter. Cheers.

Edit: this seems to be a fault of Adobe's plugin trying to be "helpful" by localizing the version string

How respectful, I already felt discriminated by the periods, as a German I have the right to see commas. What's next, a female version in pink?

I don't think so, because both strings happen to be present

I confirm the same output in the 440 libflashplayer.so I installed yesterday but also that commas and dots were present in the same place in the previous version (which I backed up offline)

Code: Select all

11,2,202,346
11.2.202.346
drm/%s/%s/%s/11.2.202.346%s

This was a misunderstanding -- it does see the version with commas (since that is the first in the file). But this is a localization "as if it was a number" but natural numbers never have multiple decimal points, so this is a mistake in localizing something that should not be localized.
Later FF and Chrome have a bit of code where this is special-cased for Flash and simply fixed up (since it's apparently not changed since then in the plugin and still being done). I'll do the same in Pale Moon.

The reason it popped up recently is NOT because you updated the flash player, but because I recently updated the blocklist. there was no 11.* block entry in the list before, so any 11.* version would be in the clear.

Pff. OK. Reverting the blocklist plugin section until the next version then.

Update pushed, you should be able to pull a fresh copy and check.

Checked: works!

How does one pull the latest build? I checked for updates in the About, but it said I'm up to date. Still can't run or update Shockwave.

If you're referring to the blocklist, it will be updated automatically. If you do want to update manually now, simply delete the blocklist.xml file from your profile and the browser will gab the latest version.

If you're referring to seeing commas in the version number, this was fixed in Pale Moon v25.4, so you need to update Pale Moon from linux.palemoon.org

Thanks, deleted the blocklist and the flash plugin works again.
