• Time to install the Adobe Flash patch – and the Reader patches, too, when they’re out

    It looks like the Flash player update is relatively stable. Go ahead and install it. (But you have my permission to curse under your breath that Adobe still hasn’t done anything to fix the Flash cookie problem.)

    From Adobe Security Bulletin APSB10-16:

    Adobe recommends users of Adobe Flash Player 10.1.53.64 and earlier versions update to Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.76. Adobe recommends users of Adobe AIR 2.0.2.12610 and earlier versions update to Adobe AIR 2.0.3.

    Got yer scorecard?

    The new Reader and Acrobat should be out in a few hours. Apply those as soon as you can – the hole they plug is pretty big. Details in Adobe’s Security Bulletin ASPB10-17.
