Flash HOLED AGAIN TWICE below waterline in fresh Hacking Team reveals

bill 36

question

I've searched the web including the forums and read the detailed report about the newly found holes and privilege escalation.

However, as regards Mint 17 and Firefox it all seems a bit vague especially when the write up includes referencing Kernel32.dll to exploit the code

It seems to me that this exploit can only crash the Flash player in Mint and not escalate privileges.

Anyone got the definitive answer or a pointer? Thanks
