Adobe Flash Player version and Snow Leopard
Euan Williams "Mac users may be surprised that versions of Apple's latest operating system, Snow Leopard, also installs an older version of Adobe System's Flash player, potentially putting them at a higher security risk."
"The "initial" release of OS X 10.6 includes an earlier Flash player version than the latest version, which is 10.0.32.18, according to an Adobe blog post on Wednesday."
"Upgrading to Snow Leopard, which was released on Friday, will actually downgrade the latest Flash player to version 10.0.23.1, which is not patched against some security problems, wrote Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos."
Snow Leopard-installed version (in /Library > Internet plug-Ins) is:
10.0.23.1
but should be:
10.0.32.18 (updated 30 Jul 09)
