Adobe is warning of a critical vulnerability in its Flash Player application for users on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS operating systems.
The vulnerability is the only flaw released this month as part of Adobe’s regularly scheduled patches (markedly less than the 18 flaws addressed during its September regularly scheduled fixes). However, it’s a critical bug (CVE-2020-9746), and if successfully exploited could lead to an exploitable crash, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user, according to Adobe.
