You do understand that the reason Flash gets updates is to patch

To go 'backwards' to solve a viewing problem opens you to those old

Look for the solution and repair your problem. It is a really bad idea,

Yes but allowing the flash plugin to have text relocation is
a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission.
Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly --Thanks Adobe who no longer will maintain its
linux releases except for Chrome.
I rather trust my SELinux security context rather than an proprietary company :-<
Several years ago, AMD (and perhaps also Intel) introduced processors
that prevented a program from modifying the text pages to thwart
exactly the kind of malware that did this.
