Adobe released yesterday new security patches for a total of nine of its products. Of course, Adobe Flash Player could not miss them, and then, ColdFusion Builder, InDesign and others.
One of the most critical patches is security update APSB16-39 available for Adobe Flash Player. The update addresses 16 security flaws in Flash, one of which could allow remote implementation code if exploited successfully.
Adobe even confirmed that it has already seen attacks who try to take advantage of this particular one vulnerability. It goes without saying that Flash Player users should give immediate priority to installing this particular patch. The updated version of Flash Player is 24.0.0.186.
For Adobe Flash Player Desktop Runtime products, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, και Internet Explorer 11 update severity is rated “1” (the highest priority rating available in Adobe patches), while Adobe Flash Player for Linux is rated “3.”
In the case of users running Internet Explorer and Edge, the Flash Player update will be sent via Windows Update as the application is embedded in the browser.
