Adobe Patches Critical Flash Flaws
Summary: Adobe released an update fixing two critical vulnerabilities in Flash Player, affecting versions 11.1.102.62 and earlier on Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris, 11.1.115.6 and earlier on Android 4.x, and 11.1.111.6 and earlier on Android 3.x and 2.x. Adobe said it was not aware of active attacks against either flaw, and both were reported by Google security researchers, coming less than a month after a critical Flash patch that closed at least seven security holes, one of which was already being exploited.
What you should know: This is the second critical Flash patch in under a month, and the prior one included a flaw that was already being exploited in the wild - so the install base carrying an unpatched Flash Player is the exposure, not the advisory.
