On June 13th 2017 Adobe released security updates for Adobe Flash[1] to fix several critical vulnerabilities. If you don’t have Flash configured to auto-update, ISC strongly recommends that you manually update your installation as soon as possible.
Users in managed environments such as IBM Endpoint Manager can expect to be patched for this vulnerability shortly.
For users in unmanaged environments, ISC strongly recommends configuring the software to use Adobe's automatic update for Flash Player. Available for both Windows and macOS, this update check can be configured to either alert the user to the availability of an update or to automatically install any available Flash Player update. These settings can be found in these locations:
- Windows: Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Flash Player
- macOS: System Preferences > Flash Player (note: under “Other")
Google Chrome (Windows and macOS) and Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 8.x/10 only) manage and update their Flash Player instances from within the browser. Windows 7 users of Internet Explorer 11 must download and install the plug-in for Flash Player. All web browsers should be restarted following the update.
To download the latest version of Flash Player manually:
