I just got to check this today and the installer I got was signed on May 19th, so it might have been updated just after you posted. (See attachment.)

You also can try the full installer from this address which seems to work year after year: https://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe

The standard download page here:

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

has a certificate valid until 2019. Where did you see a certificate expired message? Can you copy/paste the text of the error page?
