Hi,

I ran yesterday full updates via updater and my flash seems to be 
version: 10.0.15.3
Also if you look on the details for package flashplugin-nonfree from 
repositories, it says:

"$apt-cache show flashplugin-nonfree
.....
Version: 10.0.15.3ubuntu1~intrepid1
....
"
And that is fortunately the version which seems not to be vulnerable for 
exploits.
Have you rolled every single update from repositories?

Best Regards,
