Topic
An updated nspluginwrapper package that fixes various bugs is now
available.
Description
nspluginwrapper is a utility which allows 32-bit plug-ins to run in a
64-bit browser environment (a common example is Adobe's browser plug-in
for presenting proprietary Flash files embedded in web pages). It includes
the plug-in viewer and a tool for managing plug-in installations and
updates.
The nspluginwrapper package has been upgraded to version 1.3.0-8.el5.
This update contains fixes for the following bugs:
- The nspluginwrapper package contained a bug that restricted expected
functionality with PDF files viewed in the Firefox web browser. Limitations
included the inability to search a PDF document because the Find bar was
unable to get focus to enable a user to input a search term and unable to
use the keyboard shortcuts F8, Ctrl+Shift+F8 and Ctrl+E. A user is now able
to search a PDF document loaded in Firefox and all predefined keyboard
shortcuts work correctly. (BZ#435838, BZ#455218)
- When the previous version of the nspluginwrapper package was used with
Adobe Flash 10 and Firefox was run from the terminal window, critical error
messages would present in the terminal even though the software worked as
expected. The error messages do not appear in the terminal window with this
latest upgrade. (BZ#466547)
- If the umask of the user that invoked /usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config was
0077, the files in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/ would be given
permissions based on the users umask. This could have lead to the files
becoming unreadable. With this package update, nspluginwrapper does not use
the umask or group inherited from the invoking user. (BZ#521948, BZ#523814)
Users of nspluginwrapper should upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues.
