A new version of Flash was announced by Adobe yesterday. Flash 17.0.0.134 addresses at least eleven critical security vulnerabilities.

Anyone who uses a web browser with Flash enabled should install this update as soon as possible. That includes anyone who ever looks at any videos on Youtube.

Internet Explorer 10 and up will receive this Flash update via Windows Update, and Google Chrome will update itself.

Update 2015Mar27: That didn’t take long. At least one popular exploit kit (aka ‘set of hacking tools’) now includes a pre-packaged attack that targets one of the vulnerabilities fixed in Flash 17.0.0.134. If you use Flash, and you’re not in the habit of updating it, you should either stop using Flash or keep it up to date.
