It must be a very busy week at Adobe, with 52 vulnerability bulletins affecting Flash Player, Shockwave Player and Acrobat on today’s US Cert Cyber SecurityAdvisory bulletin SB11-045. These vulnerabilities all fall under the high end of the high vulnerability scoring range of 7-10 at 9.3 out of 10 which means that updates should definitely be applied without delay. In many cases these updates are applied automatically but to be safe we have made additional resources available here.

How do you test to see if you need updates? Follow these instructions:

For Shockwave Player Make sure you have version 11.5.9.620 or above (Update)

For Flash Player make sure you have version 10.2.152.26 or above (Update)

For Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader you will need to run the program and choose “About Adobe Reader # or About Adobe Acrobat” from the Help Menu at the upper right portion of the menu:

Make sure the resulting version of Adobe Reader and Acrobat 10.x is 10.0.1 or above, 9.x is 9.4.2 or above, and 8.x is 8.2.6 or above. (Update Windows or Mac)
