Adobe today announced for the second time this month an emergency update for Flash. This update addresses a threat that could allow an attacker to take control of an affected system, executing malicious code. The vulnerability (CVE-2014-0502) has already been exploited. Apparently at least three nonprofit organizations according to security firm FireEye (via ArsTechnica) have been hacked using this exploit.
Now you can grab the update here. But doesn’t this seem like the Java circus that was happening last year? Doesn’t it make you want to consider dumping Flash? I know I am considering it.
