Once Again You Have To Update Flash To Protect Yourself From A Threat

I admit that I don’t have to worry about updating Adobe Flash since I dumped it due to their lack of security. But for the anyone who still has Flash on their system, Adobe’s Security Bulletin APSB15-23 describes “critical” Adobe Flash flaws that can “allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.”

Lovely. Here’s what they recommend:

  • Adobe recommends users of the Adobe Flash Player Desktop Runtime for Windows and Macintosh update to Adobe Flash Player 19.0.0.185
  • Adobe recommends users of the Adobe Flash Player Extended Support Release update to version 18.0.0.241
  • Adobe recommends users of the AIR desktop runtime, AIR SDK and AIR SDK & Compiler update to version 19.0.0.190

Thus you should make sure that you update Flash and the like ASAP. Or just dump it and avoid this mess and be happier and more secure as a result.
