Adobe fixes eighteen vulnerabilities in Flash Player

Adobe Systems released critical security updates Tuesday for Flash Player to address 18 vulnerabilities, many of which can be remotely exploited to compromise underlying systems.

Fifteen of the patched vulnerabilities can result in arbitrary code execution, one can be exploited to disclose session tokens and two allow attackers to escalate their privileges from the low to medium integrity level, Adobe said in a security advisory.

The company advises Windows and Mac users to update to the newly released Flash Player version 15.0.0.223. Linux users should update to Flash Player 11.2.202.418.
