Your Computer Is At Risk! Critical Patches For Adobe

---

Adobe released an out-of-band security update on Monday to address Nineteen (19) vulnerabilities in its Flash Player, including one (CVE-2015-8651) that is being exploited in the wild.

All the programming loopholes could be abused to execute malicious code (here malicious Flash file on a web page) on victims' computers in order to hijack an unpatched PC or Mac entirely.

Here're the details of the Flash's 19 security vulnerabilities patched in the emergency APSB16-01 update posted Monday afternoon:

• A Type Confusion Vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-8644)
• An Integer Overflow Vulnerability that also leads to code execution (CVE-2015-8651)
• Use-After-Free() Vulnerabilities that could also lead to code execution
• Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities that could also lead to code execution

You can also get the latest Flash Player versions from Adobe's website.

However, if you really want to get rid of these nasty bugs, you are advised to simply disable or completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player immediately.
