Adobe patches six more vulnerabilities in Flash , AIR


Adobe has released yet another security update for Flash player to  address a new set of six critical vulnerabilities.

The vulnerabilities affects users of Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Chrome OS and Android.

The patches address four memory corruption vulnerabilities -- CVE-2012-4163, CVE-2012-4164, CVE-2012-4165 and CVE-2012-4166 -- and an integer overflow vulnerability, CVE-2012-4167. Also fixed is a cross-domain information leak vulnerability, CVE-2012-4168.

"These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system," Adobe said.

Windows and Apple users should use Flash version 11.4.402.265, and the up-to-date Linux version is 11.2.202.238.

For Adobe's AIR runtime, which allows Web applications to perform functions outside of a Web browser, Windows and Apple users should move to version 3.4.0.2540.
