Looking at how many times Flash Player and Internet Plug-Ins is mentioned, I'm gonna guess that maybe you recently updated to the latest crappy version of Adobe Flash Player? Nothing to worry about.
 
My permission errors are almost identical, but also include many Front Row (never use it) and a few iTunes errors. I repair them, and they're incorrect again the next day. Is it worth an Archive and Install, or is that too much effort for the issue?
