Apple updated the web plug-in blocking mechanism in Safari browsers to disable all Flash Player versions prior to <a title=\"Adobe Patches Flash Flaw Targeted by Exploit in the Wild\" href=\"https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/adobe-patches-flash-flaw-targeted-by-exploit-in-the-wild\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flash Player 17.0.0.169<\/a> and 13.0.0.281.<\/p>\n<p>These updates come after Adobe issued a statement earlier this month stating that the company is\u00a0aware of a report that an exploit for CVE-2015-3043 exists in the wild, which\u00a0could lead to arbitrary code execution. Adobe addressed the Flash Player web plug-in vulnerability\u00a0with the release of Adobe Flash Player 17.0.0.169.<\/p>\n<p>If the Flash plug-in you&#8217;re using is out-of-date, you should\u00a0see an indicator that displays the message &#8220;Flash out-of-date&#8221; or &#8220;Blocked plug-in&#8221; when attempting to view Flash content in Safari. This means that the version of the plug-in you&#8217;re using on your computer does not include the latest security updates and is blocked. To continue using Adobe Flash Player, you will need to download an update from Adobe.<\/p>\n<p>Here you can\u00a0find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intego.com\/mac-security-blog\/adobe-patches-flash-flaw-targeted-by-exploit-in-the-wild\/\" target=\"_blank\">installation details and information about the security content of Flash Player 17.0.0.169<\/a>. If you need to use an older version of Flash Player, Apple recommends using the <a title=\"Safari: About Internet plug-in management\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT202819\" target=\"_blank\">Internet plug-in management<\/a> in Safari to run the plug-in in unsafe mode for websites that you trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has blocked the Flash Player plug-in in Safari following Adobe\u2019s updates that address a recently identified Adobe Flash Player web plug-in vulnerability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[2143,182,104,115],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.4 -
