According to Adobe's bulletin, the following versions are vulnerable:

Flash Player 9.0.20.0 and earlier
Flash Professional 8 [prior to 8.0.34.0]
Flash Player 7.0.68.0 and earlier

Therefore, although Adobe recommends upgrading to 9.0.28.0, I believe
only sarge needs to be updated.

The advisory at <http://www.rapid7.com/advisories/R7-0026.jsp> is more
explicit about the vulnerability: a Flash script can specify values for
Content-Type or custom (non-standard) headers in HTTP requests it makes
and these are not restricted from including CR and LF characters.  This
means that the 'header values' can include additional header lines and
even (if the server supports pipelining) entire requests.

The advisory includes a script fragment that demonstrates the exploit.
A complete example file would be helpful in verifying that etch and sid
are not vulnerable.
