steven36 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 This quick update within days of its build 257 release patches the announced zero-day exploit ? I assume it does They had already released to chrome users yesterday to patch it.Interestingly, albeit somewhat confusingly, users of the latest Flash Player version 16.0.0.257 are told by Adobe to upgrade to version 16.0.0.287. This has been shipped with the latest version of Google Chrome, released yesterday, but is not yet available for download on Adobe's website. It is not clear whether the vulnerability is addressed in this update.more info here Alleged Flash Player zero-day used in Angler exploit kitEdit: Its not really clear so I would not use flash in nothing but windows 8.1 or Chrome with pepper flash tell they update release notes herehttps://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/release-note/fp_16_air_16_release_notes.htmlMany security firms were quick to point out that they would have blocked the exploit, either through heuristic detection, or because the Angler exploit kit was detected. Still, it might not be a bad idea to play safe and to enable click-to-play for Flash on websites.Security Bulletins and Advisories not updated ether https://helpx.adobe.com/security.html#flashplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 After saying early Thursday that it was investigating reports of a critical zero-day vulnerability affecting its Flash Player that is being exploited in the wild, Adobe Systems issued a security advisory late Thursday, stating that it expects to have a patch available for the flaw during the week of Jan. 26.According to Malwarebytes, this particular instance of Angler is trying to install a piece of malware known as Bedep.Bedep is a distribution botnet that’s capable of loading multiple payloads on infected hosts. In this case, the payload is an ad fraud component.“Upon infection, explorer.exe (not to be confused with iexplore.exe) is injected and performs the ad fraud calls,” said Jerome Segura, senior security researcher at Malwarebytes.Symantec is also analyzing the Flash Player zero-day, noting that the SWF file utilized in the attack is detected by its products as Trojan.Swifi.More info: Adobe to Patch Critical Flash Player Zero-day Vulnerability Used in Active Attacks SummaryA critical vulnerability (CVE-2015-0311) exists in Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.287 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux.

steven36 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You may as well say flash is dead , In YouTube Firefox switched to html5 as default you have ether change your user agent to Firefox 33 or lower or use this addon YouTube Flash Player . isn't so much of Mozilla's choice as it is Google they own YouTube and want force everyone to use html5 and with so many exploits you may be better off. The thing I dont like is CanvasBlocker for Firefox only works with flash when you go YouTube in the video page there fingerprinting and add-on dont work with html5 . So its better to use a chrome type browser with CanvasFingerprintBlock for Chrome its works for html5. :) :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
