Flash Player Emergency Patch: 0-day used in RCE attacks (Update: MSFT Update now available)

[soccer97]

There is another critical 0-day in Flash Player and Adobe released an updated version. An update is available, and it is urged that all users patch it ASAP.

Here's the Security bulletin. The one from Microsoft hasn't hit my PC yet, and the link to the KB article is not up yet.

Bulletin Info: Adobe Security Bulletin

You can verify the version of flash in Google Chrome by typing chrome://plugins into the address bar.


Also - note the use of the recommended uninstaller tool (Mainly for Firefox plugin): Uninstaller

Even Adobe discouraged people from using flash
Adobe is telling people to stop using Flash

In this case it's better to use Sandboxie when you enable Flash

Because some websites still use it.

Anyway a live in a sandbox . When I have to use flash I switch to chrome ( always in a sandbox )
