Flash 11.2.202.394 is available now. Assume it's a security update (since those are the only updates Flash 11 receives).
I update manually, so I can't say whether automated download is ready, but when it is:
update-flashplugin-nonfree --install

Also, Pepper Flash 14.0.0.145 for chromium is updated today. Currently, you have to extract it from beta version of Chrome:
update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree -i --beta --unverified

It is here on 32 bit.

Thanks.
Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

Pepper Flash 14.0.0.145 is also available today.

How did you install it? Or is it a typo? As yet, on 32 bit, there is no 145:
Quote# update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree -iv
options :  -i -v --
temporary directory: /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.zZFg68A5w6
doing apt-get update on google repository
selected action = --install
upstream version 14.0.0.125 is already installed
end of action --install
cleaning up temporary directory /tmp/pepperflashplugin-nonfree.zZFg68A5w6 ...
end of update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree

I guess we have to wait for Chrome to update Flash. They're doing it through "component update" on Mac/Windows (rather than releasing a new Chrome version). I'm not sure if Linux Chrome has "component update" or if we need to wait for a completely new version of Chrome. Google seems to take its time rolling out the Flash update on everything but Android/ChromeOS (which is dumb for a Flash security update).

Hey thanks, I had to install pepper flash, for flash stuff to work, I did not know that.   
^^^ New install [over-wrote aptosid], dist-upgrade, no flash in chromium or iceweasel.  I left iceweasel flash-free

Adobe Flash Player Version: 14.0.0.125
]Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
huh,,,
that's after
update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --unverified -i

So, I figured out that I had to use both --beta and --unverified option to get 14.0.0.145 (because it's only found in Chrome beta right now):
update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree -i --beta --unverified

Thanks seasons for keeping us updated!
Just returning the favor: :)

The --beta and --unstable options for the update-pepperflash script are undocumented (had to look in the script). If Google is going to take their sweet time updating Chrome when a Flash security update comes out, then users should be aware of those options IMO.
