New Adobe Flash patch

Here we go again:

Adobe Systems has issued an emergency update for its ubiquitous Flash Player that fixes a critical security vulnerability that attackers are actively exploiting to hack end user machines.

...

The Flash vulnerability affects versions 10.3.183.7 and earlier for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris and Flash 10.3.186.6 for Google's Android operating system for mobile phones. Those using recent versions of Flash on Windows or Mac OS X can install the upgrade automatically after being prompted by an auto-update mechanism, or they can upgrade manually by installing a file downloaded here. In some cases, those using Flash with multiple browsers must update more than once. Those wanting to know what version they're currently running should visit this page.
Of course, Flash is what puts the You in Youtube.  So head on over for some security goodness.  You know that guy who got hacked by the new Flash exploit that's going around?  Don't be that guy.

  1. Since Safari supports HTML5 I don't need Flash for youtube anymore.

    I only have Flash on ONE computer that is my last ditch, if nothing else works and I have to have Flash for something machine.

    Flash's days are about over.

  2. So is OnStar running Flash? Because that would be poetically just.

  3. As always, people should be careful to make sure they clear the check box or boxes to download additional crap like McAfee's virus, uh, anti virus software.
