Earlier today, Adobe released yet another version of Flash to address the most recent vulnerabilities revealed in the Hacker Team leak (CVE-2015-5122 and CVE-2015-5123).
According to the release notes for version 18.0.0.209: “These updates address critical vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. Adobe is aware of reports that exploits targeting these vulnerabilities have been published publicly.”
If you still need to use a web browser with Flash enabled, you should install the new Flash version immediately. As usual, Internet Explorer 10/11 in Windows 8.x will receive the Flash update via Windows Update. A new version of Google Chrome (43.0.2357.134) includes the most recent Flash version.
