Patch Now - Adobe Vulnerabilities Under Attack

This has not been a great week for Adobe; they have been scrambling to fix a number of critical vulnerabilities in their Flash Player product that are being used in active attacks. Two weeks ago, Adobe released a patch for a vulnerability that is being used in attacks in the wild (CVE-2015-0310). A few days later, they released yet another patch for a second vulnerability also being used in active attacks (CVE-2015-0311). And a few days after that, they released a patch for yet another vulnerability that is also being exploited in the wild (CVE-2015-0313).

While the latest patch is for Windows and Mac users, the previous two patches from Adobe are forWindows, Macs and Linux. All three vulnerabilities are being exploited via drive-by-downloadattacks. These attacks are a popular type for criminals as they can potentially provide a more “operating system agnostic” attack vector, since it has the potential for affecting more than one OS. And indeed, that is the case here.
