I agree this is a flash bug. What I am saying is that this can be fixed in glibc, and was actually fixed in: http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12518 > See /usr/share/doc/libc6/NEWS.Debian.gz for workarounds and > https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5739 for a binary patch.

However, I believe it is technically illegal (at least outside of Europe) to perform such workarounds, as stated in the Adobe EULAs: "4.5 No Modification or Reverse Engineering. You shall not modify, adapt, translate or create derivative works based upon the Software. You shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software. If you are located in the European Union, please refer to the additional terms at the end of this agreement under the header “European Union Provisions,” in Section 16." I therefore think we should either wait for Adobe or for glibc to fix this. We could therefore marked 625522 as blocking this bug, for example.
