Adobe Flash player zero-day vulnerability

[phils41316698]

Where can I download the update for Chrome Chrome?

Krebs on Security has posted a new item.

Adobe has released an emergency update to address a
critical security hole in its Flash Player browser plugin that is being actively
exploited to deploy malicious software. If you've got Flash installed -- and if
you're using Google Chrome or a recent version of Microsoft Windows you do --
it's time once again to make sure your copy of Flash is either patched, hobbled
or removed.

Hi phils41316698

I just replied to your PM to me.

Regarding Flash Player in Chrome, Google embeds Flash Player in Chrome and embedded versions are updated by Google.  There is no need to install the update separately.  You can check the version of Flash Player in Chrome by navigating to chrome://flash.  This will tell you the version, and path to the plug-in in use.  If the path is to a user directory, then it's the embedded version.  If the path is to a system-wide location, it's the non-embedded version.

How do we address Firefox?

Go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ while using Firefox.

Ideally, you'll also enable automatic updates, so you don't need to worry about patching in the future.
