Adobe fixes critical Flash Player flaw

If you haven't already, programs and features, uninstall Flash and follow the process below. Of course, avoid the Google trap. We congratulate Adobe for having been so responsive, hoping that Acrobat Reader will follow, the same for Sun Java.... which are under fires Of actuality...

 

Multiple vulnerabilities in Flash Player (11/06/10)

ABSTRACT :
Thirty-one new security flaws have been identified in the Flash player, a plug-in integrated into most web browsers that allows viewing animations of the same name. The exploitation of the most severe flaws allows a malicious individual or a virus to execute malicious code on the computer of its victim via a web page or a trapped Flash animation. There
critical flaw announced on 06/06/10 has also been corrected.

CONCERNED SOFTWARE:
Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and below
Adobe AIR 1.5.3.9130 and below

RISK :
Critical

PATCH :
Affected users should install the
latest version of Flash player (version 10.1.53.64 or higher) in order to prevent any malicious exploitation of these flaws. If several web browsers are installed, it is necessary to repeat the verification and, if necessary, the installation for each of the browsers. It is sometimes necessary to close the browser so that the new player version is taken into account (if the version has not changed despite the installation, close the browser then reopen it and display this test page).

NB: following a commercial agreement between Adobe and Google, Internet Explorer browser users are encouraged to install the Google toolbar at the same time as the Flash Player update. This toolbar is unrelated to the security patch and has the function of collecting information about searches you perform via Google, so unless you actually want to install it, it should be unchecked the pre-checked box before clicking on the "Accept and install" button:
