flash should be updated to resolve security vulnerabilities

[Ernst]

I'm running Linux Mint 13 (64 bit) and I use Firefox as my main browser. If I visit a website which serves flash, the flash object states:
"This plugin is vulnerable and should be updated".

If I understand correctly, the plugin should be updated in the repositories in order to solve this; I should not install an update myself. So therefore I submit this bug report, because flash is outdated.

It seems this is a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1165630. However, that bug is (imo faulty) not marked as a security vulnerability.
