New Adobe Flash Player Update Fixes 6 Flaws

Summary: Adobe released a critical Flash Player update in August 2012 that closes at least five to six security holes, arriving one week after the company rushed out a fix for a flaw attackers were already exploiting in the wild. The update moves Windows and Mac users to version 11.4.402.265, covers Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, and is accompanied by an Adobe AIR update to 3.4.0.2540.
What you should know: Readers reported that after updating, the older vulnerable .ocx and .dll files remained in the Flash directory, and one commenter noted Adobe's automatic installation of quarterly security updates may be delayed by as much as 30 days on workstations that are rarely rebooted.
