Adobe has urged users to update to the latest version of Flash following the recent discovery of a security flaw.
Last week, network security firm FireEye discovered a phishing campaign exploiting an Adobe Flash Player zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2015-3113) that may potentially enable an attacker to take control of the affected system.
According to reports, a Chinese hacking group known as APT3 is already exploiting the vulnerability by sending phishing emails to firms engaged in telecommunications, aerospace and defense, transportation, high tech industries and construction and engineering.
Following the reports of CVE-2015-3113 vulnerability, Adobe released security updates for Adobe Flash Player for Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
The company urged users of the Adobe Flash Player Desktop Runtime for Windows and Macintosh to update to Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.194.
Users of the Adobe Flash Player Extended Support Release were asked to update to Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.296, while users of Adobe Flash Player for Linux should update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.468.
The company said Adobe Flash Player installed with Google Chrome and Adobe Flash Player deployed with Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x will automatically update to version 18.0.0.194.
