I think given the track record of security problems in flash player (and java and firefox and everything else, it seems...) just connecting to WWW you're accepting a certain level of risk in the first place. Just because security problems have not been announced for the newer versions doesn't mean they don't exist (we thought every previous version was safe,too -- the world didn't end) I think most of the security problems they fix are typically theoretical and I'm not sure about any widespread actual exploit of flash player, especially targeted at a beta 64-bit linux version of flash player that probably 0.001% of web surfers are using. If you only run flash from trustworthy sources I think there's minimal risk. But that's just my opinion.
