Thumbs down Adobe Flash Flaw in Linux ! Update Now




Adobe Systems Inc. issued an alert Wednesday, warning users of Flash Player on Linux systems that a vulnerability could allow an attacker to take control of an affected system.

The flaw is in Adobe Flash Player for Linux 10.0.12.36 and Adobe Flash Player for Linux 9.0.151.0. An attacker could exploit the flaw by passing a malicious Shockwave flash SWF file.

Fix you flash by updating it : Adobe - Adobe Flash Player

The issue does not affect the Macintosh or Windows versions of Flash Player, Adobe said
