Adobe has released security updates for Flash Player on Windows, Mac and Linux.

The update addresses four security vulnerability described by Adobe in this way:

  • A use-after-free vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0506)
  • A buffer overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0507)
  • A security bypass vulnerability that could lead to information disclosure (CVE-2014-0508)
  • A cross-site-scripting vulnerability (CVE-2014-0509)
Most users can get their software update at get.adobe.com/flashplayer. Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 10/11 Metro users will get an update from those companies.

This table tells which version you should get and where you should get it depending on your Flash Player version and operating system:
