Adobe Flash Player Critical Security Update

Posted on 1:25 PM by Unknown

An Adobe Security Bulletin has been posted to address a critical security issue in Adobe Flash Player.  As described in the Adobe PSIRT Blog: Security update available for Adobe Flash Player:
"Today, a Security Bulletin has been posted to address a critical security issue (CVE-2010-2884) in Adobe Flash Player. This Security Bulletin affects Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.92.10 for Android.  Adobe recommends users apply the update for their product installation. This addresses the issue first mentioned in Security Advisory APSA10-03. "

Although Adobe suggests downloading the upate from the Adobe Flash Player Download Center or by using the auto-update mechanism within the product when prompted, if you prefer, the direct download links are as follows:
  • IE: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
  • Non-IE (Opera, Firefox etc) http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
If you use the Adobe Flash Player Download Center, be careful to UNCHECK the box shown below. It is not needed for the Flash Player update!
