Critical Adobe Flash Player Update Nixes 25 Flaws

Summary: Adobe released a Flash Player update fixing at least 25 security vulnerabilities, along with a security patch for Adobe AIR, with updates available for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android. Adobe spokeswoman Wiebke Lips said the company was not aware of any exploits in the wild for any of the issues patched in this release, and Adobe rated the patch Critical and Priority 1 for Windows, recommending installation within 72 hours.
