Flash, AIR and Office updates available

Adobe released updates to AIR and Flash Player today and Microsoft pushed out an update for Office. As usual you can initiate the Flash Player update from your System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced panel, this should install the latest version which is now 11.7.700.225. The latest version of Adobe AIR can be downloaded from their website and the Office update can be downloaded by accessing the Help menu in any of the Office applications, then select ‘Check for Updates’. In the Update window that opens all available updates will be shown. Installing them all is recommended and run the ‘Check for Updates’ again until the updater tells you no more updates are available.

The vulnerabilities patched in Office are already being exploited in the wild so it is important to install available updates sooner rather than later. Adobe’s updates patch critical vulnerabilities as well.
