I am having an argument with my 3rd party match management vendor - 
Secunia/Flexera, and I am curious how other vendors handle this situation.

Recently, Adobe released a security update for Flash-- 20.0.0.267 that had a 
bug in it and then a couple of days later released 20.0.0.270 to correct the 
bug.


I need to patch Flash because there are security vulnerabilities in version 
20.0.0.235.  The only option Secunia has for us is to deploy version 20.0.0.267 
which corrects known security vulnerabilities, but has a known critical 
functional bug.  Secunia refuses to offer 20.0.0.270 because they consider it a 
"bug fix" and not a "security update"   Secunia is in the business of patching 
security vulnerabilities not supplying patches that fix functional bugs.



I am curious to know how the other patch vendor solutions are handling this 
issue.  Does your third party patch solution offer all patches for Flash or 
only ones that plug security holes?
