Dependencies
========================================================================
Flash requires that GTK library version 1.4.gm.38 or 2.6.8 be installed.
Standard locations for GTK 1.4.gm.38 are /lib or /opt/gnome/lib. Standard
locations for GTK 2.6.8 are /lib or /opt/gtk2.6/lib. If the GTK library
is in a non-standard location you must add that directory to your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable; for example:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/other/directory).

Release Notes
========================================================================
The following security updates are included in this version of Flash 6
for HP-UX:

- Domain ending with dot is incorrectly sandboxed

- Fill user's hard drive, or read .sor files from other domains

- Update to ZLib version 1.2.3

- GetURL() protocol navigation restrictions: This fix prevents a
  networked file from accessing local content. It does not prevent
  local content from loading other local content by specifying
  relative path name.

- Memory overwrite due to security spoof

- Addressing issue stated in bulletin MPSB05-07

- Microsoft file creates memory overwrite

- JPEG Memory Overwrite


The following additional defect fixes are included:

- A memory leak is generated when an MP3 file is read by loadSound ()

- Segmentation fault in the player UNIX font directory code: There was
  a segmentation fault in the player UNIX font directory code, caused
  by the attempt to access unallocated memory.

- Spoofed SWF check: Prevents the execution of code in a class that was
  deleted after deleting Streams and Scripts after finding spoofed data.

- Crash issue with respect to navigating the Flash content using
  keyboard: This fix consists of a NULL-pointer check to prevent an
  access fault.

- Crash due to buffer overrun: This update catches a situation in which
  a corrupted or malicious SWF file can cause the player to attempt to
  access memory beyond the end of a buffered *.swf file.
