    Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player


    Adobe will issue an emergency patch tomorrow for a critical vulnerability in its Flash Player that is currently actively exploited by cybercriminals. The vulnerability exists in Windows XP and Windows 7 and can be used to take full control over a victim’s computer.

    The vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.197 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Chrome OS. Visiting a hacked or malicious website or viewing a malicious advertisement is sufficient to become infected.
    Although the vulnerability is in Flash Player 21.0.0.197 and earlier, it is being actively exploited on systems running Windows 7 and Windows XP with Flash Player version 20.0.0.306 and earlier. A mitigation introduced in Flash Player 21.0.0.182 currently prevents exploitation of this vulnerability, protecting users running Flash Player 21.0.0.182 and later.


    Adobe therefore advices users to update to the most recent version of Flash Player. The company will also release an emergency patch tomorrow that fixes the vulnerability.

    Ah right - so this update is not for IE11 or edge then? Just Mozilla and some other browsers?

    Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player

    Mozilla still has .197, Adobe hasn't linked the new version yet. I always update by going into speedtest.net clicking 'about' which takes you to current flash versions list. On their it displays new version on the list but if you click player download or update now it takes you to the download page which still has the old version. Adobe have done this before, it's pretty frustrating

    EDIT - Doh! They must of just updated it properly now

    In Windows 10, MS will release an update for IE and Edge through Windows Update after they test it.

    In Win10 it comes via Windows update, and is built into the OS*Sad
    Sad Face Smiley from me, because, they are always late(I have seen it take up to a week) getting the updates out, leaving users unprotected.
    Also Flash Player, like JAVA, are the largest add-on attack vectors that malware is distributed through.
    I strongly recommend, that you turn Flash Player off, or depending on which browser you use, set it to "Click-to-Play".
