Correction: From Threatpost, Adobe Patches One Zero Day in Flash, Still Investigating Separate Vulnerability:

 

"The vulnerability that Adobe patched Thursday is under active attack, but Adobe officials said that this flaw is not the one that security researcher Kafeine said Wednesday was being used in the Angler attacks."

The Threatpost article further indicated that there is no indication from Adobe officials that an update is in the works for the Angler zero-day vulnerability.

If you have Flash Player set to auto-update, you'll receive the update automatically. Otherwise, the stand-alone installer for version 16.0.0.296 will be available for manual download during the week of January 26.

 

Do the following to set Flash Player to auto-update:

 

Windows: click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Flash Player

Macintosh: System Preferences (under Other) click Flash Player

Linux Gnome: System > Preferences > Adobe Flash Player

Linux KDE: System Settings > Adobe Flash Player

Interesting--after running the download from the link Corrine supplied I find that Flash on Win7 reports a higher version than Adobe is saying is current on their check-Flash-version webpage. :whistling: We're nothing if not cutting edge here at SNLF.
