Adobe Flash Pushes Emergency Update After Discovering 'Limited, Targeted Attacks'

It doesn't matter if you run Mac, Windows or Linux: update your Flash player. That's the warning from Adobe advising users to update their software to patch 23 security holes in the popular program.

The March update, released Thursday, is meant to fix a list of vulnerabilities that could make it possible for a hacker to launch malicious software code on to an unsuspecting user's computer. All it would take for someone to become a victim would be for them to visit an infected website, or unwittingly watch an infected advertisement.
