Adobe Shockwave Player: Critical Security Update to v11.6.4.634

--
Adobe has again done the right thing and ignored their own idiotic quarterly updates schedule. I'm glad someone over there has a brain in their head. This time the problem is with Adobe Shockwave Player. Adobe says:

These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker, who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities, to run malicious code on the affected system.

Update Adobe Shockwave Player to version 11.6.4.634 immediately. You can download it here:

A good article about the many dangerous security flaws in the previous version is available at ZDNet:

Adobe plugs critical holes in Shockwave Player

You can read Adobe's detailed explanation of the critical security issues here:

Adobe 'Out Of Band' CRITICAL Update Parade: Shockwave Player v11.5.8.612

--
Adobe continues their parade of CRITICAL security updates with Shockwave Player v11.5.8.612. Thankfully, you only have to make one click on one page to download it. (Someone over there is getting the clue). And get this! (Don't go into shock!) It's 64-bit! Here is the download page link:

Shockwave Player v11.5.8.612

You can read about the security patches HERE.

To quote Adobe:

The vulnerabilities could allow an attacker, who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities, to run malicious code on the affected system.

My quick summary:

There are 20 security patches.

-> 16 patches are for memory corruption vulnerabilities (aka buffer overflow bugs).

-> 2 patches are for DOS (denial of service) attack issues.

-> 1 patch is for a pointer offset vulnerability.

-> 1 patch is for an integer overflow vulnerability (aka buffer...).

The update is for both Mac and Windows versions. Adobe don't note any in-the-wild exploits at this point. But as per usual, keep up to date with App and OS security patches!
