look for your installed flash version here:

Newest Linux version: 11.2.202.273

If yours is lower, then:

update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv


Wegen schwerwiegender sicherheitslücken
( http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Schon-wieder-Notfall-Update-fuer-Flash-Player-1811996.html )
muß das flash-plugin upgedatet werden, und zwar auf version 11.2.202.273. Mit dem link oben kann man die version feststellen.
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

Thanks for the warning michaa7.

Anyway, there's now even an easier way to check if your installed version of Flash is out of date:update-flashplugin-nonfree --status |grep Flash

pol update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv
provides me:

pol update-flashplugin-nonfree
N: Paket update-flashplugin-nonfree kann nicht gefunden werden.

Those are commands that apply to the package flashplugin-nonfree, not packages on their own.

update-flashplugin-nonfree -iv

is not a package, it is a command.  The package is "flashplugin-nonfree".

EDIT:  Ooops, sorry Devil.  zu langsam.  :)
