The Mint Flash plugin provided with Linux Mint 14 needs to be updated to the latest version for Linux. The current "mint-flashplugin-11" is at version 11.2.202.243 which apparently is already behind in Flash security updates put out by Adobe and is now considered a security risk. The latest version for Linux just put out by Adobe is version 11.2.202.273 which is already available via Ubuntu's "flashplugin-installer" package (as version 11.2.202.273ubuntu0.12.10.1) for Linux Mint 14. Here's the link to the article explaining the problem:

Hoping that Mint's Flash plugin package is updated fairly soon.

Re: Mint Flash plugin needs to be updated
Hello, kmb42vt.
Of course I would appreciate as well if the mint-flasplugin-11 started installing the most recent Flash plugin editions instead of outdated editions.
Yet, I know and I assume that you know as well, the solution is pretty trivial:
+ uninstall the mint-flashplugin-11
+ install the flashplugin-installer and receive the recent Flash plugin editions in a timely fashion
Kind regards,
Karl
