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 two days since the last security version Adobe warns us about a new dangerous vulnerability and almost suggests us to uninstall the 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 a exploit that could cause computers to collapse or allow a hacker to gain control.
The bad news is that the vulnerability can be applied to all Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms, and there is still no guaranteed solution, apart from uninstalling the plug-in.
Adobe has named it critical vulnerability CVE-2015-7645, and it says that it affects the latest version of the plugin, as well as all their previous versions (you don't get away with anything).
The company notes that the 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 them users to protect their computer at this point is to uninstall the plugin.
For those who want to uninstall the plugin, you can find the Adobe instructions from here.
