version no more supported; not a 'security' problem, so no backport
expected

Title:
  Flash 11.2 crashes when attempting to access webcam

Status in flashplugin-nonfree package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I use a video webchat site within Google Chrome.  Recently, I updated
  my Lucid packages, which contained an update to the Flash plugin.
  This newly updated plugin crashes whenever it attempts to access the
  webcam connected to the system.  The previous version
  11.1.102.63ubuntu0.10.04.1 did not crash.

  Reverting to Flash 11.1.102.63 fixes the crash issue.  For reasons of usability, I'd recommend that the Flash 11.1.102.63 package remain available in Lucid, until Adobe has resolved the crash issue in 11.2.202.235.  The previous package may be downloaded from:
