H Adobe recently released an updated version of Flash Player that fixes four vulnerabilities better safetys.
Windows and Mac users are invited to upgrade to Flash version 13.0.0.182, while Linux users are required to upgrade to version 11.2.202.350.
The first vulnerability fixed (CVE-2014-050) for a use-after-free bug, which could be used to execute arbitrary code. This particular vulnerability was discovered by a VUPEN researcher during the Pwn2Own 2014 hacking competition.
The second vulnerability (CVE-2014-0507) concerns a buffer Overflow which could also lead to remote execution of malicious code. The issue was also identified on Pwn2Own by Zeguang Zhao and Liang Chen.
Finally, the update fixes a vulnerability that could lead to security bypass and leak of sensitive data (CVE-2014-0508), as well as a cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2014-0509).
Some of the vulnerabilities were classified as critical, as they can be exploited by attackers to acquisition of the control of the affected systems. So far, there is no evidence that exploits have been created to exploit these vulnerabilities, but users are advised to upgrade to the new patch as soon as possible as a precaution.
