Adobe has posted an alert about yet another critical vulnerability in Flash. This issue (CVE-2015-0313) affects all versions of Flash, including the most recent (16.0.0.296).

So far there is no patch from Adobe, although one is expected this week. As always, disable flash in your browser if you don’t need it, exercise great care in web browsing if you need Flash, and configure Flash browser plugins as ‘Ask to activate’ where possible.

About jrivett

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
