3. Description:

The flash-plugin package contains a Firefox-compatible Adobe Flash Player Web browser plug-in.

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 10.0.15.3 for users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary, and 9.0.152.0 for users of Red Hat Enterprise 3 and 4 Extras.
