[Bug 173890] Re: flashplugin-nonfree fails to install... new version?

[Conrad Knauer]

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.
