Security Updates Released for Adobe’s Flash Player

Security updates for Adobe’s Flash Player were released Thursday after “multiple vulnerabilities” allowing a remote hacker to “take control of an affected system” were discovered, the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team said Thursday in a news release. Users and administrators are asked to review the Adobe Security Bulletin and update Flash Player to the latest version, as the update for Windows, Macintosh and Linux isn't automatic, Adobe said.
