Chromium + Flash + Linux vulnerable as well? How does one a) even know what version of flash is embedded in Chromium b) other than constantly killing the flash process how does one disable flash in Chromium

Chromium v6.0.417.0

Generally, to determine flash version, you're forced to the macromedia website to view a version test .swf .

After finding out about this 'sploit, I looked in vain for the authplay.dll . It turns out I had a newer build that wasn't listed as vulnerable (and I couldn't find the file itself, where does it usually reside?).

The bug is between Acrobat Reader and Flash, not Flash and any browser. It's not a problem for you to worry about.
