Adobe patches another Flash hole
A Flash vulnerability that's being exploited by hackers, to gain control of victims' machines, is the target of a security update released over the weekend by Adobe.
"There are reports that the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild, in active targeted attacks, designed to trick the user into clicking on a malicious file delivered in an email message," Adobe said in a security bulletin.
"The exploit targets Flash Player on Internet Explorer for Windows only," Adobe said, but the company urged Mac, Linux and Android users to update their versions of Flash, as well. The company has provided a link to help people determine which version of Flash they're running, and listed which versions are vulnerable.
