    Adobe has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.43 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh and Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.335 and earlier versions for Linux. These updates address a critical vulnerability that could potentially allow an attacker to remotely take control of the affected system.

    Adobe is aware of reports that an exploit for this vulnerability exists in the wild, and recommends users update their product installations to the latest versions.

    To verify the version of Adobe Flash Player installed on your system, access the About Flash Player page, or right-click on content running in Flash Player and select "About Adobe (or Macromedia) Flash Player" from the menu. If you use multiple browsers, perform the check for each browser you have installed on your system.

    Avast and Secunia alerted me to it just a while ago.

    I'm updated to version 12.0.0.44.

    Got that late last week or earlier this week. It popped up on a reboot when I had to reboot for another update.

    Meant to post it but with the remodeling of the house, my brain is going in 10 different directions at the same time. Even when I lay down at night to sleep. :D
