   Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.206

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Quickly responding to yet another critical security vulnerability,
   Adobe has updated the Mac version of the standalone [1]Flash Player to
   version 13.0.0.206. According to this [2]Adobe security bulletin, the
   update patches an exploit that has been used to target Flash Player
   users on the Windows platform to remotely take control of a system. But
   because this threat can also be exploited on Mac (and Linux) systems,
   Adobe recommends all users update Flash Player for Mac 13.0.0.201 and
   earlier to this new release. (To see which version of Flash that you
   have installed, visit this [3]Adobe page. If you use Google Chrome Web
   browser , make sure to close and restart it to get Chrome 34.0.1847.131
   (which bundles Flash Player 13.0.0.206). (Free, 15 MB, [4]release
   notes, 10.6+)
