Name        : gnash
Product     : Fedora 11
Version     : 0.8.6
Release     : 13.fc11
URL         : http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
Summary     : GNU flash movie player
Description :
Gnash is capable of reading up to SWF v9 files and opcodes, but primarily
supports SWF v7, with better SWF v8 and v9 support under heavy development.
Gnash includes initial parser support for SWF v8 and v9. Not all
ActionScript 2 classes are implemented yet, but all of the most heavily
used ones are. Many ActionScript 2 classes are partially implemented;
there is support for all of the commonly used methods of each
class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update makes Gnash use the system version of the libltdl library instead of
the bundled copy which was vulnerable to CVE-2009-3736. An update to the system
libltdl fixing CVE-2009-3736 was issued on December 21, 2009.
