Flash 21.0.0.213 fixes 24 security issues

Earlier this week Adobe issued a security alert about a Flash vulnerability that was (and still is) being actively exploited on the web. As expected, that vulnerability has been fixed in a new version of Flash. In all, twenty-four security vulnerabilities are addressed in Flash 21.0.0.213.

If you use a web browser with Flash enabled, you should install the new version as soon as possible. You can find out whether Flash is enabled in your browser by visiting Check-And-Secure.

As usual, Chrome will update itself with the new Flash, and Internet Explorer and Edge running on newer versions of Windows will get the new Flash via 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.
