Microsoft Security Advisory (910550): Macromedia Security Bulletin: MPSB05-07 Flash P
Revision Note: Advisory published. Advisory Summary:Microsoft is aware of recent security vulnerabilities in Macromedia Flash Player, a third party software application that also was redistributed with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, and Windows Millennium Edition. The Microsoft Security Response Center is in communication with Macromedia and is aware that Macromedia has made updates that are available on their Web site. Microsoft encourages customers who use Macromedia Flash Player to follow the guidance documented in Macromedia's Security Bulletin. The Macromedia Security Bulletin describes the vulnerabilities and provides the download locations so that you can install the appropriate update based on the version of Macromedia Flash Player you are using. If customers are not using Macromedia Flash Player on their system, or customers do not need Macromedia Flash Player, they can disable the ActiveX control in Internet Explorer to help protect against these vulnerabilities. See the Workarounds section in this advisory for ways to implement this change.

NAME

       ftl_cs - Flash Translation Layer driver for PCMCIA memory cards

SYNOPSIS

       insmod ftl_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [major_dev=n]

DESCRIPTION

       Flash  memory  devices typically need to be erased before they are written, and most flash devices can only be erased on large block bound-
       aries like 64K or 128K.	The Flash Translation Layer driver, ftl_cs, implements a sort of  virtual  sector-addressable  block  device  that
       hides the details of erase operations.  Using the FTL driver, a flash memory card can be treated as an ordinary block device.

       The  ftl_cs  driver allocates a major device number when it is loaded.  Minor device numbers have a bitwise layout of 'dddrrppp'.  'ddd' is
       the device number, with one card counting as one device.  'rr' is the common-memory region number, generally 0.	And 'ppp' selects a  logi-
       cal partition within the FTL region.

       The default configuration script for FTL devices will create a block device with the name of the form '/dev/ftl{d}c{r}', where '{d}' is the
       device number and '{r}' is the region number, that spans the entire FTL region.	It also creates devices  '/dev/ftl{d}c{r}p[1-4]'  pointing
       to partitions 1 through 4 within this FTL region.

       An  FTL	region	must  be  formatted before use.  The formatting utility, ftl_format, needs to write to the corresponding raw memory device
       rather than the FTL device interface.

PARAMETERS

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled.  A  non-zero
	      value enables debugging.

       major_dev=n
	      Selects the major device number to allocate for FTL devices.  The default is to pick any available major number.
