Adobe has released a security update for Adobe Shockwave Player for Windows. This update resolves a critical memory corruption vulnerability that could lead to code execution.

Although I have yet to need Shockwave Player on this computer, there are still many people who use it. If you have Shockwave Player installed, please update to the latest version.

Release date: November 14, 2017
Vulnerability identifier: APSB17-40
CVE number: CVE-2017-11294
Platform: Windows

The newest version 12.3.1.201 is available here: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/. As usual, watch for any pre-checked add-ons not needed for the update.
