Adobe just launched new edition of Flash Player. The new Flash Player 22.0.0.192 fixes 36 security issues, including a zero-day that is currently being used in attacks.
The vulnerability was discovered by Kaspersky Labs και ο εμπειρογνώμονας Costin Raiu ανέφερε ότι οι hackers χρησιμοποίησαν το Flash zero-day για να προκαλέσουν ένα memory corruption bug στη μνήμη του Flash Player, κάτι το οποίο τους επέτρεψε να εκτελέσουν κακόβουλο κώδικα στον computer of the victim and take over the management of the device.
In addition to zero-day (CVE-2016-4171), the company also corrected other Flash exploits such as CVE-2016-4117 and CVE-2016-0147. The last one was another zero-day exploit that Adobe reported had been repaired in April.
Updates are currently available for all three platforms: Windows, Mac, and Linux. The Adobe Flash Player for Windows and Mac Update is 22.0.0.192, while 11.2.202.626 for Linux distributions.
