Adobe on Tuesday patched six vulnerabilities in Flash Player, all of them pegged critical by the company.
Tuesday’s update was 2010’s third for Flash Player, the Adobe browser plug-in that’s installed on an estimated 99 percent of all personal computers. Previous updates in March and June have fixed 33 other flaws.
As is Adobe’s practice, it revealed only the scantiest of details about the half-dozen bugs in the accompanying security advisory. Five of the six were labeled as “memory corruption” vulnerabilities, while the sixth could potentially be used in a “click-jacking” attack.
