I don’t see this everyday.

Adobe today released a “priority 1” update to Flash that the company recommends that you install within the next 72 hours to protect your computer. From what you may ask? Apparently, an attacker could take control of your system remotely. Here’s what the company said:

Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.43 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh and Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.335 and earlier versions for Linux. These updates address a critical vulnerability that could potentially allow an attacker to remotely take control of the affected system.

Adobe is aware of reports that an exploit for this vulnerability exists in the wild, and recommends users update their product installations to the latest versions

You can get the latest Flash Player here. I’d update now if I were you.
