23 vulnerabilities fixed in Flash 19.0.0.185

There’s a new version of Flash. Version 19.0.0.185 addresses almost two dozen security vulnerabilities in previous versions. Yes, as fast as Adobe can plug one hole, another opens up. Happily, the web is already moving away from Flash. With any luck, five years from now Flash will be a distant memory.

If you still use a web browser with Flash enabled, you need to update Flash and any related browser extensions as soon as possible.

As usual, Internet Explorer on newer versions of Windows will get its own Flash updates via Windows Update, and Chrome will auto-update itself with the latest Flash.
