There’s a holiday present from Adobe in the form of yet another new version of Flash. This one fixes at least nineteen security vulnerabilities – including one that is currently being exploited on the web – as well as a few other bugs. There are additional details in the release notes.

As usual, Chrome and Internet Explorer will get the new version via their own update mechanisms.

If you use Flash in a web browser, push that plate of turkey leftovers to the side and install the new Flash ASAP.

Update 2016Jan02: On January 1, Adobe released another version of Flash, this time just for the ActiveX version used in older versions of Internet Explorer on Windows 7 and earlier. According to the updated release notes, Flash 20.0.0.270 includes one change: “Fixed loading problem with Flash Player in embedded applications”.
