Flash player: A vulnerability has been reported in Adobe Flash Player, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error. Further information is currently not available.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

It does make you wonder if it's worth while having it installed

Mine updated I think last week or the week before to 10.2.152.33 which is the current for Macs. 10.2.152.32 is current for windows.

I thought Flash player's sole function in life was to be vulnerable?  ;D

It certainly does. Perhaps the security industry pay Adobe? ;)

I always check the Adobe site just to make sure, tbh flash is an incredible pain and after being updated about ten days ago, to now have a zero day vulnerability is just ridiculous.
