Emergency update for Flash

On February 20, Adobe announced a new version of Flash that addresses critical security vulnerabilities. Security bulletin apsb14-07 describes the vulnerabilities.

We strongly recommend upgrading to this new version of Flash (12.0.0.70) as soon as possible, especially if you have Flash enabled in a web browser and you use that web browser for web surfing.

As usual, Google Chrome will update itself to the latest version of Chrome, and Internet Explorer 10 and 11 will be updated to the latest Flash by way of Windows Update.

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.
