Ready to kick back and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday? Can't wait to open your advent calendar? Not so fast, there's one more patch to install before the month is over.

Adobe has posted an update for its Flash plugin, version 15.0.0.239, to address a critical remote-code-execution vulnerability. This will be the Photoshop giant's second attempt at fully squashing this particular security bug.

Users and administrators are advised to update their software on Windows, OS X and Linux systems. Opening a specially crafted Flash file can trigger the bug, and lead to the execution of an attacker's code to hijack the machine.
