Adobe has released an update for Flash that addresses three dozen CVE-listed vulnerabilities.
The update includes a fix for the CVE-2016-4171 remote code execution vulnerability that is right now being exploited in the wild to install malware on victims' computers.
Adobe is recommending that users running Flash for Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS update the plugin as quickly as possible, giving the update the "Priority 1" ranking, a designation reserved for flaws that are, according to Adobe, "being targeted, or which have a higher risk of being targeted."
Adobe credited security researchers at Cisco Talos, Google Project Zero, FireEye, Microsoft Vulnerability Research, Tencent PC Manager, Kaspersky, Pangu Lab, and Qihoo 360 Codesafe Team with reporting the 36 flaws.
For Windows, macOS and ChromeOS (as well as the Chrome browser), the updated version will be 22.0.0.192. The latest version of Flash Player for Linux is 11.2.202.626 and Flash Player Extended Support will get version 18.0.0.360.

No, I think you covered it, thanks. :)
Look for a related thread in a bit.
Cheers!
Flash is the biggest POS ever...
I dunno. POSH is very important to quite a few people. Many small businesses depend upon Point Of Sale Hardware and software to run their businesses. Supermarkets sometimes use them as well.
Let’s not be too quick to judge them all so harshly, shall we?
Eobard Thawne approves this.
Your assumption for the reason for my recent disinterest is mistaken. It has nothing to do with any physical deterioration and everything to do with spiritual improvement that the Holy Spirit is producing in me, to the extent that I cooperate with Him. Therefore, it is you that has my sympathy.
