Another Adobe Flash Player Update was released today (surprise). It's a RCE one again, so you may wish to patch soon. as @Jack noted, if you are on Windows 8 or 10, you should have one coming from Microsoft update too.

Security Bulletin: Adobe Flash Player Update Released

Adobe's Flash Player uninstaller: Uninstall Flash Player - Windows


Or better yet uninstall flash and leave it that way if you can. It's a security risk.

Stay Safe!


Edit: Their PSIRT blog is good to check frequently anyway - and sometimes it lists upcoming advisories such as scheduled quarterly updates to things such as Reader/Acrobat.

Considering how things are going, I think the best "update" is to dismiss Flash if possible.

I totally agree with you! Adobe Flash is just too vulnerable, think of all the exploits that attackers have found and successfully utilised in the past few years alone let alone from when it was first introduced... It's really high. Lots of determination from attackers to focus on Flash vulnerabilities and exploiting them. Most services are moving to HTML5 now a days anyway!

I do wish i could do without Flash but i need it for some sights but i am very well backed up so i run with it.

If the transition to HTML5 is quite fast, then the burden of Flash player should be less impact.

However, it will take long time because of webmasters decision.
