Adobe Flash Player and AIR Critical Security Updates Released

[Corrine]

Adobe has released Version 24.0.0.186 of Adobe Flash Player for Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, Chrome and Linux.

These updates address critical vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.  Note in particular that an exploit for CVE-2016-7892 exists in the wild, and is being used in limited, targeted attacks against users running Internet Explorer (32-bit) on Windows.

If you use the download center, uncheck any unnecessary extras.
