[ Debian stable ]

A few days ago, I updated Chrome from:

    google-chrome-stable:amd64 37.0.2062.94-1

to:

    google-chrome-stable:amd64 37.0.2062.120-1


That update caused pages with embedded Adobe Flash to malfunction (with
various nasty error windows appearing).

I tried to find the "right", and ideally a straight forward fix, but failed.

So instead, I removed the "120" version, and reinstalled "94".

Flash returned to normal!


Is this a known bug?  With Chrome?  With Flash?

See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=410805

The suggested place to get a replacement is here

What I actually did myself was to download this the version you mention (64bit version).  Extract only the version of /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so in it and put that into the actual /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash directory.

I seem to be OK at the moment.
