The latest Flash release from Adobe is version 18.0.0.160. According to the associated security bulletin, this update addresses at least thirteen security vulnerabilities.

Several other bugs, unrelated to security, were also resolved. See the release announcement and release notes for details.

The new version also includes a somewhat streamlined installation process: users will no longer be prompted to restart their browser after Flash installation. The previous version will continue to function until the browser is restarted.

As usual, Chrome will be automatically updated to use the new Flash, and Internet Explorer 10 and 11 on recent versions of Windows will get the new Flash via Windows Update.
