Adobe Flash Player v13.0.0.206: Critical Out Of Band Update, Exploit In-The-Wild

--

Today Adobe released a critical, out of band update of Adobe Flash Player. The new version is 13.0.0.206. There is an exploit of previous versions of Flash in-the-wild. Update immediately please.

Adobe's security bulletin can be found here:

These updates address vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

Adobe is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2014-0515 exists in the wild, and is being used to target Flash Player users on the Windows platform. Adobe recommends users update their product installations to the latest versions. . . .

These updates resolve a buffer overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0515).

At this point, the exploit is only on Windows OS computers. But it can easily be exploited on other platforms as well.

[Cross fingers that Adobe managed to compile this version correctly for ALL supported versions of OS X. (0_o)]
