Adobe is no longer providing security updates for Adobe Flash Player 9, and
is not providing a replacement Flash Player version compatible with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.

In one month Red Hat plans to release an update for the flash-plugin
package that will prevent it from functioning. User wishing to continue
using Flash Player 9, despite the vulnerabilities, can add the flash-plugin
package to the up2date skip list. Refer to the following Red Hat
Knowledgebase article for instructions on adding a package to the up2date
skip list: https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-1639
