Stop us if you've heard this one: A Flash zero-day vulnerability is being actively targeted in the wild.

In the meantime, Adobe has issued a patch to address both CVE-2018-15982 and CVE-2018-15983

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/12/05/flash_zeroday_adobe/

Adobe has issued security bulletin APSB18-42 that states that Flash Player 31.0.0.153 and earlier are affected by this vulnerability, which has been assigned the CVE-2018-15982 ID. To resolve this vulnerability, users should update to version 32.0.0.101 immediately.

This update also resolves DLL hijacking vulnerability in the program that would allow a bad actor to load a malicious DLL when Flash Player starts.

To be truly safe, it is recommended that all users uninstall Flash Player unless they absolutely need it for an internal application. Adobe plans on retiring flash in 2020 and most sites that have utilized it in the past have moved to other technologies.
