Adobe issued a security advisory yesterday about a critical vulnerability (CVE-2016-1019) in Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.197 and earlier. The vulnerability affects all OSes (Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS).

As Adobe says, it “could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system”. Well, strike that “potentially” since it is being actively exploited in the wild.
The good news is that the current version of Flash Player (21.0.0.182) at the moment prevents exploitation of the vulnerability (at least with exploits that are currently circulating).

In any case, Adobe should release the patch tomorrow (7.4.) so patch as soon as you can to be sure that the vulnerability has been completely mitigated (and of course, use an addon such as NoScript).

Adobe offers a handy web page to check which version you have currently installed at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/, while the original advisory is available at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa16-01.html

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
