Yesterday Adobe released security updates for Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.43 and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh, and Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.335 and earlier versions for Linux. Users running the earlier versions are susceptible to a vulnerability that gives attackers remote control of their computers.

Researchers from Kaspersky Labs reported the bug. The company said Adobe is aware of reports that an exploit for this vulnerability “exists in the wild.”
