Adobe has released yet another update to Flash Player, fixing a dozen vulnerabilities, some critical. This brings the program up to version 11.1.102.55. Adobe’s security bulletin<\/a> discusses the vulnerabilities that are patched.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that the main Mac we use for writing these blog posts has not been updated for several versions of Flash – it’s currently running 10.3.183.5 – and we have never<\/i> received any sort of alert that a new version was available. Contact with Adobe offered no answer to why this occurs, and we know many people who have also not gotten alerts for updates. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So don’t trust Adobe’s “auto-updater,” and check yourself when you read about new versions. You can use the Flash Player preference pane, which is in System Preferences, to see the version of Flash Player you have, and you can click the Check Now button to go to a web page which will tell you if you are up to date or not. <\/p>\n

To get the latest version of Flash Player, go to the Adobe Flash Player Download Center<\/a>. Adobe has also created a patched version of Flash Player 10, for those who cannot run Flash Player 11; you can get that here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company has also updated Adobe Air: you can get the latest version, 3.1.0.4880 here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’re curious: do you get auto-update alerts for Flash Player on your Mac? Let us know in the comments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
