Uninstall now: New serious vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player

After all, as is well known, Adobe does not care about security! There is no end to Adobe's Flash Player problems. A few months after the last major vulnerability discovered in their software as well as just days since the last security version Adobe warns us about a new dangerous vulnerability and almost suggests us to uninstall the player !!!

Adobe Flash Player

The company has issued one new security bulletin this week by warning that last edition of Flash Player, with build number 19.0.0.207, is vulnerable to an exploit that could crash the or allow hackers to gain control.

The bad news is that the vulnerability can be applied to all Windows, Mac and Linux and there is still no guaranteed solution other than uninstalling the plug-in.

Adobe has named the critical vulnerability CVE-2015-7645, and says it affects the latest version of the plug-in, as well as all its previous releases (so you're saving it with nothing).

The company notes that attacks that can exploit the new vulnerability are limited and can be used against specific targets.

The company says it's working on a fix, but it won't be available until at least next week, which is October 19 at the earliest. The only guaranteed way for users to protect it at this point is to uninstall the plugin.

For those who want to uninstall the plugin, you can find the Adobe instructions from here.
