Updates for Adobe Flash, Shockwave, AIR
Summary: Adobe released patches for critical flaws in Flash, Shockwave Player and Adobe AIR, with the Flash update correcting at least 13 critical vulnerabilities in versions 10.3.181.36 and earlier on Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris, and 10.3.185.25 and earlier on Android. Users were directed to Flash 10.3.183.5 (10.3.186.2 on Android), AIR 2.7.1, and Shockwave Player 11.6.1.629 to fix at least seven critical Shockwave vulnerabilities.
Key Takeaway: Windows users who browse with anything other than Internet Explorer had to apply the Flash update twice, once in IE and again in the other browser - so a single install could leave an exploitable version sitting on the machine.
