Shipping software with known vulnerabilities is even more ridiculous. Not to mention that Flash is not shipped with Ubuntu, it's available either through partners repository as a restricted extra or through community supported universe. If you want to use older version of Flash, feel free to do so, just don't blame package maintainers for doing the right thing. Blame Adobe instead: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3164063

I am quite happy about the recent workarounds and I think that Stephen's patch has chance of making it into the actual package (or at least there could be a PPA for the patched libvdpau). Unless, of course, Adobe fixes the bug.

Victor, Chrome Dev builds already ship with bundled PPAPI Flash Player which is very different to the current NPAPI Flash Player and probably doesn't have this bug. I doubt that Google will support 11.2 NPAPI version of Flash Player.
