Security Updates

Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player for Windows. These updates address a critical vulnerability (CVE-2015-3113) that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.    

Adobe is aware of reports that CVE-2015-3113 is being actively exploited in the wild via limited, targeted attacks. Systems running Internet Explorer for Windows 7 and below, as well as Firefox on Windows XP, are known targets. 

Adobe recommends users update their product installations to the latest versions:
