Adobe is urging users of Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6.0.626 and earlier update to Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6.1.629. If you don’t see a prompt to update the program, the latest version of AIR is available here.Īdobe also shipped an update to its Shockwave Player that fixes at least seven critical vulnerabilities in the media player program. Using an application that requires Adobe AIR (Tweetdeck or Pandora, for example) should prompt you to update to the latest version, AIR 2.7.1. The same flaws exist in Adobe AIR for Windows, Mac and Android.

Adobe has shipped patches to fix a slew of critical security flaws in its products, including Flash, Shockwave Player and Adobe AIR.
