Will Daniels: No; no 9.x version of Flash under 9.0.115.0 should be offered. Secunia (as previously linked http://secunia.com/advisories/28161/) clearly states that versions prior to 9.0.115.0, including "Flash Player 9.0.48.0 and earlier for Windows, Mac, and Linux" suffer from a "Highly critical" vulnerability that is only resolved by an "Update to version 9.0.115.0"
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE! All copies of Flash need to be upgraded NOW; this bug has been open for far too long. If the update breaks usability in Konqueror, that is an unfortunate side-effect of a HIGHLY CRITICAL security vulnerability fix and can be dealt with as a separate bug. Such is the price users must pay for using ***proprietary software***; we cannot fix Adobe's Flash player, so Konqeror needs to be updated. The fact that the majority of *buntu users, who use Firefox, will not have any problems after the update, is a bonus. If the Gnash plugin works in Konqueror, then that can be a temporary work-around for them until Adobe's Flash works right for Konqueror users. ** This bug has been flagged as a security issue -- flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
