This thread seems to have omitted info about which openSUSE release(s) the Flash security breach(es) apply to.
Nope. I said:

Must have been yesterday, out with the trash I emptied after midnight.
So, 13.1. And it is also in my signature.
Among the 36 thread posts remaining in my trash I found no clue who started the thread, and mistakely thought to what it applied would be among such a large number of posts. You might have considerered a subject line with your OS version. Not everyone remembers which version(s) every regular here runs, and in successful archive searches it's commonly vital to know which OS version is being discussed to actually locate the information sought.
But the update applies to all oS releases. I think even 14.1 got it.
14.1? No such on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap Do you mean Tumbleweed aka pre-beta 13.3?
On http://software.opensuse.org/package/flash-player only for TW is 440 shown. For 13.2 it's 411 and for 13.1 it's 310. What's the scoop? Why is latest Flash older for older yet supported releases? Are they all the same player version and just the rpm version is different?
I have version 440 on oS 13.1.
The following, in addition to what I wrote about software.opensuse.org, is what lead me to write: # grep PRETTY /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (i586)" # rpm -qa | flash-player | grep -v pullin flash-player-11.2.202.310-2.1.6.i586 # zypper ref; zypper se -s flash-player | grep 586 | grep -v pullin i | flash-player | package | 11.2.202.310-2.1.6 | i586 | Non-OSS | flash-player-gnome | package | 11.2.202.310-2.1.6 | i586 | Non-OSS | flash-player-kde4 | package | 11.2.202.310-2.1.6 | i586 | Non-OSS Only one available? That cannot be right. As if Flash itself wasn't a bad enough problem, people ought to be able to get what they need reliably about installed packages from their package manager instead of this confusion. X wasn't and isn't running here, so no opportunity to goto about:plugins. I'm trying to get a new RAID configured, reading here during waits, and being obstructed by stupid little things like this coming from every direction. It's a new 13.1, which ultimately will be on RAID, and right now with all packages I thought I needed already installed, it takes over a minute to start shutting down once instructed to shut down. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
