G'day,
To keep learners safe, please remove the Adobe Flash plugin on XO-1,
XO-1.75 or XO-4 laptops:
sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Adobe Security Bulletin APSA15-05 [1] is for a critical remote control
vulnerability (CVE-2015-7645). An attacker can take control of the
laptop.
For XO-4 and XO-1.75, there will be no fix. Adobe do not provide a
player for Linux 32-bit ARM platform [2].
For XO-1, there will be no fix. Adobe do not provide a player
compatible with the AMD Geode processor on the XO-1, which doesn't
have SSE (XMM) registers [3].
For XO-1.5, a fix may be available from Adobe. Use the steps
on our Wiki [4].
