Adobe Flash Player vulnerability!

Post by ferghus »

Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and older versions have been found to have a critical security vulnerability. It affects Windows, Mac, Linux and there is no patch/update to fix it, yet. Their PDF reader is vulnerable, too.

Ways to mitigate the vulnerability:
-Uninstall whatever version of Flash Player you have.
-Install the latest Flash Player 10.1 Release Candidate, which Adobe claims does not appear to be vulnerable.

You can download the uninstaller and RC installer at Adobe Labs. Be sure to run the uninstaller, with all web browsers closed, first.
