From the press release:

Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.10 includes security enhancements described in Security Bulletin APSB11-26

Specifically,

Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.7 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 10.3.186.6 and earlier versions for Android. These vulnerabilities could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

There are reports that one of these vulnerabilities (CVE-2011-2444) is being exploited in the wild in active targeted attacks designed to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link delivered in an email message. This universal cross-site scripting issue could be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any website or webmail provider if the user visits a malicious website.

Yes but only for users running 10.6 or newer. 10.5.8 users are stuck with 10.3.183.10.

I also noticed in their system requirements "Firefox 4.0 and above". Does that mean it won't work in Camino anymore?

nah .
They just don't know Camino exist. Flash v11 works fine with Camino 2b2; at least my 8y old daughter didn't complain…

Sorry, I should have mentioned the limitation. I'm running 10.6 and I was *required* to update to v.11 by a web site (Comedy Central) that would not otherwise open the embedded video I wanted to see. Since the site must have detected my OS version I'd think the same thing wouldn't happen to someone whose OS couldn't use the update. I doubt that you won't be able to see videos using the latest version of Flash 10. They may not know that Camino exists, but I'm sure they know not every Mac user is running OS 10.6.
