14 DAY TRIAL // Just as promised, Adobe today released an updated version of Flash Player that brings fixes for some of the security issues recently discovered on all supported platforms.
Adobe has already confirmed in a security advisory released last week that it's planning to patch a number of vulnerabilities today, the same day when Microsoft is rolling out this month's Patch Tuesday improvements. In addition to Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Acrobat are also getting fixes.
“Adobe is planning to release security updates on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 for Adobe Reader and Acrobat XI (11.0.06) and earlier versions for Windows and Macintosh,” Adobe said in a security advisory.
Of course, the new release is available on all supported platforms and is considered a mandatory update for all those who have already installed one of the aforementioned affected products, no matter if they are using Windows or Mac devices.
As far as Windows is concerned, XP is also part of this new update cycle, so make sure that you download Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.214 no matter the Windows version that's powering your computer. At the same time, it also supports the newer Windows 8.1 and 8.1 Update, in both 32- and 64-bit flavors.
