But when he installed Snow Leopard and then tested his Flash player, he discovered that he had been downgraded to version 10.0.23.1. That version, Cluley claims, "is known not to be secure and is not patched against various security vulnerabilities." But the insecure version described in the security bulletin Cluley references is about Flash Player 10.0.22.87 and earlier versions. Whether 10.0.23.1 shares the same vulnerability is not clear. Cluley also posted a video on YouTube about his finding, and one commenter said that after his install, he is still running 10.0.32.18. Regardless, it's probably a good idea for every Snow Leopard adopter to get over to Adobe's Flash Version Test page to check that they're running the up-to-date version. Any necessary upgrade can be downloaded from the Flash Player Download Center . |
