Adobe Flash Player : screen freezes for a few GUI & Rdp
We regularly get Adobe Flash Player vulnerabilities every few months.
Lately the latest 11.x version that was recommended by the security
advisories caused quite a bit of problems:
a) our 3Par (HP SAN storage) GUI could not be displayed
b) we used Novell's Privileged User Manager to record what
sys administrators are doing in the systems / VMs : when
we Rdp from the Privileged User Manager console to a
'jump host' (both ends are running Flash Player), the
screen just showed a completely white-washed page
with no response. However, from the PUM, we could
Rdp into our vCenter (this vCenter is a VM without flash
player in it)
I'm suspecting Adobe Flash player as I saw a number of
EE postings out there on Flash player below. However,
on jump host which I have yet to find out if it has older
version of Flash player, we did not have this frozen
white screen when doing "Rdp"
Q1:
How can compare establish if the Flash player is the culprit?
Q2:
Is there a command to list out all Win 2008 R2's installed
software/drivers & their version : would like to compare betw
jump hosts that are Ok & jump hosts that froze the screen.
We used IE 9 to browse a link given by PUM. All the VMs are
on Win 2008 R2 x64: the affected VMs have 16GB RAM &
four core vCPUs
Extracts from EE on Flash issues:
==========================
Adobe Flash Player now sets hardware acceleration on by default. This causes some computers to hang on fullscreen mode. To fix the problem, right click on the flash screen
& select "Settings" from the menu.
Uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration".

resolve my issue & currently suspecting I'll need to get the right version
of flash player regardless of whether it's old or new.
Is there such a thing a 'normal flash player' vs Adobe flash player? Is
this normal flash player less susceptible to security vulnerabilities &
have less of a ' freeze ' issue on Win 2008 R2 SP1 x64 & RHEL 5.x ?
The link below indicated something about normal flash player:
