Description mori rámar 2011-10-22 18:32:18 UTC
Without paxctl -m /usr/bin/nspluginscan and paxctl -m /usr/bin/nspluginviewer, To detect or load adobe-flash does not work.

/var/log/kern.log:

I am not sure whether this is intended behaviour and did not test with any other nsplugins.

Reproducible: Always
