Adobe did not release a patch for Flash on Tuesday, but instead alerted users of an unpatched, and actively exploited, vulnerability (CVE-2016-4171). Today, Adobe did release a patch that fixes this vulnerability (and others). This is a “PATCH NOW” vulnerability that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
MICROSOFT HAS JUST RELEASED “OUT OF BAND” UPDATE ALSO
Windows 8 and Windows 10 have Adobe Flash patching built into Windows Update (and please update as automatically prompted)
