This is actually a mozilla.com website issue but I didn't see what category the bug should be filed under. Anyway...

1. Visited http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
2. It tells me I have Flash v. 10.0.32.0 and that this is "Up to Date".
3. Go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
4. It tells me I have 10.0.32.18 installed and that the latest version is 10.0.42.34.

The Flash update was released two days ago (see http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb09-19.html ) and addresses "critical vulnerabilities." 

Plugin Check should do a better job of using up-to-date information to check whether users' plugins are up to date. Otherwise it defeats the purpose.

Reproducible: Always

Current version is 10.0.42.34 as of 12/8. Plugin check is incorrect. Changing product to websites.

I just checked my plugins for update and plugin check page says: "up to date"

In http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

You have version 10,0,42,34 installed

Player version: 10.0.45.2

There is no point to use the plugin check page if it gives incorrect information.

It tells me that mine is not up to date, but it is.

Player version: 10.0.45.2

I reinstalled Flash, but it didn't change. It would be nice for plugin-check to express which not up-to-date version it sees and expects.

Sorry for duping to the later bug (usually not how we do it), but that one has more momentum: bug 564854.
