Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player Fixes Critical Bugs

DCKAP has been developing Flash projects with high competence for its clients. The advantages of Flash are numerous and it has redefined the way websites look these days. The aspect of interactivity has advanced rapidly mainly because of Flash.

The Flash Player which is one of the most popular players to be in use today has undergone various changes. Recently it has made six critical updates which have been discussed to be highly important. Four among these issues have been related to corruption of memory which leads to remote code execution. Additionally, the update fixes an integer overflow vulnerability that could also lead to remote code execution. 

The other fixed bug was a cross domain information leak, which actually raised a lot of inconsistencies in the domain front of information being parsed to the website. These issues were predominantly present in the Flash Player 11.3.300.271 version and version prior to it. The platforms in which these bugs were prominent were Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

Unusually these bugs were marked critical by Adobe and were addressed at a very rapid pace. The security bulletin of the company did not reveal any detailed information about the errors. But immediately updates were made with bug fixes from the Adobe side. The updates which were available for Android were provided to devices which had Flash Player installed in them before August 15th only.

Windows and Mac OS users were able to obtain the updates from the Flash Player Download Center but a single system was not allowed to update twice on the same page. Other systems were able to update using a different page.
