Yeah. New Nokia update. They would likely remove Flash player thus solving the security issue
Anyone remember the FireWire security hole? The one when sysadmins were advised to pour hot glue into their servers fw ports because a modified iPod could hack all its way into any system
Probably Nokia will give some prize for such a great idea. They can surely do this one if situation warrants.
maybe we do have the right to demand a security update from nokia. it is security after all, not just feature request. and not every N900 here's more than a year old or past their warranty period. bought mine this year so i think i still deserve some security update.
so THANK YOU JohnLF for filing a bug report.
If Nokia listens. But to whom should Nokia listen then? Whom will tell Nokia this? Or should Nokia read all the threads on this forum too to get some idea about with all is important and what is not?

council is the only source to get to nokia adobe team !
I am just catching up on posts, forgot to mention I emailed "security@maemo.org" as requested and got a bounceback stating the email address was not recognised.
I have a feeling part of the no flash v > 9 thing is some driver problem as well so it might be quite a hornet's nest! Might be wrong though.
Nokia do have an obligation to ensure that
(a) the device works as advertised (i.e. maintain the multimedia capabilities)
(b) users are as secure as possible
- so some action is required.
For those of us still in contract and warranty, it's something worth pursuing and we have a leg to stand on re: the above. Nokia's email support is shambollic, to say the least so we need to look into how else to contact them. Anyway, in the morning!
Month later (EDIT: Sorry, a week later-ish. I'm stupid. Saw the month number and associated 10 with september for a minute), no updates. Anyone call someone in Nokia (though from the stories on this forum I suspect most of their support people don't even know what the N900 is, let alone any details about it), or keep hammering away at other e-mail based support vectors? Community council has contact information to other Nokians as I understand it, right? Any chance someone's asked them to bring this up since then?
