<div dir="ltr">IIRC, Adobe isn't doing any more updates on Flash for linux. In fact, I think they've even dropped doing security updates for linux Flash versions as well.

The version that is being blocked on my Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS running Firefox 39.0 is Flash Player Plugin on Linux 11.2.202.481 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection. Now this evening I had an update to the flash plug-in however it makes no sense: Start-Date: 2015-07-14 19:39:19 Commandline: aptdaemon role='role-commit-packages' sender=':1.148' Upgrade: flashplugin-installer:amd64 (11.2.202.481ubuntu0.14.04.1, 11.2.202.481ubuntu0.14.04.2) Why would Ubuntu upgrade the plug-in to the version that is being blocked by Firefox in the first place? Chris </blockquote> The versions that contained the vulnerability are 11.2.202.481 and earlier. The fixed version is not yet available for Linux, only for other platforms. It is expected this week though.
