This page contains the following section:
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Linux® process file system, linprocfs(5) has to be mounted on /compat/linux/proc, if one wants to play Flash animations. This can be done via the following command:

# mount -t linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc

This point can be automated at boot time with the addition of the matching line in /etc/fstab:

linproc	/compat/linux/proc	linprocfs	rw	0	0
-----------------------------------------------------------

This information doesn't seem to be necessary as Flash plays fine without it mounted.  If it isn't necessary, it's a potential security threat.  
>How-To-Repeat:
Use flash player without linprocfs mounted.
>Fix:
Remove the unneeded text:

The Linux® process file system, linprocfs(5) has to be mounted on /compat/linux/proc, if one wants to play Flash animations. This can be done via the following command:

# mount -t linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc

This point can be automated at boot time with the addition of the matching line in /etc/fstab:

linproc	/compat/linux/proc	linprocfs	rw	0	0
