I think given the track record of security problems in flash player |
| 7 |
(and java and firefox and everything else, it seems...) just |
| 8 |
connecting to WWW you're accepting a certain level of risk in the |
| 9 |
first place. Just because security problems have not been announced |
| 10 |
for the newer versions doesn't mean they don't exist (we thought every |
| 11 |
previous version was safe,too -- the world didn't end) |
| 12 |

I think most of the security problems they fix are typically |
| 14 |
theoretical and I'm not sure about any widespread actual exploit of |
| 15 |
flash player, especially targeted at a beta 64-bit linux version of |
| 16 |
flash player that probably 0.001% of web surfers are using. |

If you only run flash from trustworthy sources I think there's minimal |
| 19 |
risk. But that's just my opinion. |
