Firefox and flash-plugin on F20

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a strange happening.

On my F19.x86_64 home server, I have both firefox-34.0-1.fc19.x86_64 and
the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed.
About:plugins shows that it is the correct plugin, and all seems to work
as expected.

On my F20.x86_64 laptop, again, I have both firefox-38.0.5-1.fc20.x86_64
and the latest Adobe flash-plugin-11.2.202.468-release.x86_64 installed.
 About:plugins however shows that version 11.2.202.466 is the current
installed version of the flash plugin being used by firefox.
A quick look at my systems shows that there are only 2 libflashplayer.so
files:

/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

And a quick check of both of them shows:

strings /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so | grep 11.2.202
FlashPlayer_11_2_202_468_FlashPlayer
LNX 11,2,202,468
11.2.202.468
drm/%s/%s/%s/11.2.202.468%s

So, if the file in the location that firefox about:plugins shows that it
is 11.2.202.468, then why does firefox say it is:

Shockwave Flash

    File: libflashplayer.so
    Path: /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
    Version: 11.2.202.466
    State: Enabled (STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE)
    Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

This is weird!
