Adobe fixes 24 vulnerabilities in Flash Player, including an actively exploited one

Adobe Systems has released a security update for Flash Player to fix 24 critical vulnerabilities. One exploit for an actively exploited vulnerability tracked as CVE-2016-1019 has been used in Web-based attacks to infect computers with file-encrypting ransomware programs since at least March 31. One of the newly patched vulnerabilities can result in remote code execution on users’ computers, one can lead to a security feature bypass and one can be used to bypass the memory layout randomization mitigation that’s supposed to make exploitation harder in general.”]
