Adobe appear to have found a major flaw in Adobe Flash Player that's prompted them to release an update outside their usual quarterly updated schedule, and on a Sunday to boot.

In a bulletin dated 5 June they report on a universal cross-site scripting vulnerability that "could be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any website or webmail provider, if the user visits a malicious website."

The affected versions are Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.16 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris operating systems, and Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.22 and earlier versions for Android. So update now!
