Adobe Flash Player For Google Chrome (mac Version)


Affected versions of Flash Player for Mac: Adobe Flash Player version 23.0.0.185 and earlier Adobe Flash Player for Google Chrome version 23.0.0.185 and earlier Mac users running Flash Player 11.3. The Chrome web browser is perhaps best suited for running Adobe Flash because Chrome sandboxes the Flash player plugin, making it a bit more secure. While Google Chrome should automatically update the Adobe Flash plugin itself when the browser app is relaunched, sometimes Adobe Flash Player may. The latest version of Google’s Chrome browser doesn’t just bring a new, lighter look for its tabs: It also comes with a fresh set of handcuffs for Adobe’s Flash player.

Info for administrators

Critical vulnerabilities are regularly found in Adobe Flash Player, and are quickly used in exploit kits.

Update Chrome to the latest version across your organization, and set up support for Flash. We recommend allowing Chrome to automatically update in the future.

If you turned off updates, content might be blocked if the version of Flash isn't safe. If that happens, people will be prompted to update Chrome. You can prevent the prompt by using theAllowOutdatedPluginspolicy, but we recommend updating Chrome to the latest version instead.
