So, is anyone else having this issue? Not only am I having it, but I’m seeing it on other users, running CentOS 7. On my system, I see in my logs plugin-containe[17209]: segfault at 3e78991a13c4 ip 00007f06e29fe522 sp
00007ffe9b68de08 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[7f06e238d000+107b000]

I’m running Version : 24.0.0.194 on CentOS 6.8, which appears to be the same version as is running on CentOS 7, though I see it on someone’s
7.3 with flash-plugin
24.0.0.186. That’s from Dec 10, and that’s about when, IIRC, I started seeing crashes.

I can’t believe that we’re the only ones with the problem.

  • This may not be the same thing:

    I’m running CentOS-7, up to date. Flash seems to mostly work fine,… I can see videos on CNN, for example, as well as other places.

    however, I have a weekly online course that uses Adobe Connect, which requires flash. At least in the Firefox that ships with (and is updated occasionally by) CentOS, flash crashes whenever I try to open Connect. If I back out the 24.x.x.x flash version and go back to the 11.x.x.x version it works fine.

    can’t downgrade. By the way, googling, I find it’s been filed as a bug with upstream:
