Adobe Ships Election Day Security Update for Flash
Summary: Adobe released a critical security update for Flash Player and Adobe AIR that fixes at least seven vulnerabilities, bringing Flash Player to version 11.5.502.110 on Windows and Mac systems, with updates available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. An Adobe spokesperson said the company was not aware of any active attacks or exploits in the wild for the issues patched in the release.
Key Takeaway: Adobe rated the Flash update Priority 1, meaning it should be deployed within 72 hours, yet its own auto-updater delivers version upgrades like this one within 7 days - and all seven CVEs also affect Adobe AIR, which many applications embed.
