ross549 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Unless there is an out-of-band update, at least we can now plan on Flash updates on the 2nd Tuesday of the month along with the Microsoft Security updates. Thanks, Corrine! That's good to know. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 No more Adobe Flash for Linux, in case you didn't know... From Adobe's download page: NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I corrected all my Adobe Flash security weakness in both Win XP and Win 7 tonight. I just removed Adobe Flash from both operating systems. And as Inspector Clouseau might say, "Problem eh-sol-ved. I can go play with my meenkey now."

Guest LilBambi Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 That's certainly one way to handle it if you never have to navigate a flash website, view a flash video, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Check your version of flash installed http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ I do this for IE. I can check it easily in FF under Tools/addons/plugins but I don't use IE so I'm not sure how I'd check it there. I just drive the browser to the adobe page and it tells me I'm current.

Guest LilBambi Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yes, makes a difference with Firefox and Internet Explorer. I generally don't even install Flash for Internet Explorer, just for the main browser(s) that I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 LOL! Yeah, Patch Tuesday and 4th Thursday sometimes...and of course, there is this from Wikipedia: "Exploit Wednesday" Many exploitation events are seen shortly after the release of a patch.[citation needed] By analyzing the patch, exploitation developers can more easily figure out how to exploit the underlying vulnerability,[8] and attack the systems that have not been patched. Therefore the term "Exploit Wednesday" was coined. Also, starting to abuse an unpatched exploitation entry point on this day gives malicious code writers the longest period of time before a fix is supplied to users. Malware authors can sit on the vulnerability of a new exploitation entry point until after a given Patch Tuesday, knowing that there will be an entire month before Microsoft releases any patch to fix it.

Guest LilBambi Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Wasn't there just update to cover the two vulnerabilities from the CERT announcement and posted on Adobe on February 11, 2014 ... just saw them on CERT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yes. I posted the Shockwave Player update separately at Adobe Shockwave Player Critical Security Update rather than in the Flash Player thread. It can be merged here though if that's a better fit.
