July 11, 2015

Adobe was just notified about a second, unpatched zero day exploit in the wild for its Flash Player software. This affects all operating systems and browsers. A second patch in a week is going to be released beginning on July 12. People who have enabled automatic updates for Flash will receive it first.

For the technically minded among you, CERT-US has published a technical bulletin outlining the exploit in Vulnerability Note VU#338736.

Noteworthy is their recommended workaround:

Do not run untrusted Flash content

To defend against this and other, as yet unknown vulnerabilities, disable Flash in your browser or enable Click-to-Play features. Adobe has also provided instructions for how to uninstall Flash on Windows and Mac platforms.
