Yesterday, Adobe pushed out an emergency update to Flash. According to Adobe, the "critical" vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution, putting any browser that autoruns flash plugins at serious risk. In a deviation from their usual policy of issuing security updates on patch Tuesday, Microsoft already pushed out a fix via Windows Update. All this probably sounds familiar, as Flash has suffered from similar "critical" vulnerabilities in recent years. Fortunately, Adobe has plans to retire the software in 2020, but I wouldn't be surprised if more critical vulnerabilities pop up before then.
Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player for Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. These updates address a critical vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 31.0.0.148 and earlier versions. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Technical details about this vulnerability are publicly available.
