No, this is a Flash bug.  The glibc bug you are looking for is Bug#625522.

See /usr/share/doc/libc6/NEWS.Debian.gz for workarounds and
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5739 for a binary patch.  If it
is possible to work around this in the flashplugin-nonfree packaging,
that would be a welcome thing.

Thanks for your interest,
Jonathan
