Adobe Security Bulletin APSB18-31
Adobe Security Bulletin APSB18-31 indicates the priority of the update with 2. The changelog for Flash Player 31 and AIR 31 states that the new Flash Player release includes important bug fixes, security updates and new features. The changelog says:
Mac NPAPI Sandbox – Mozilla Firefox
Die Mac NPAPI Flash Sandbox wurde in Firefox Nightly Builds aktiviert und soll in Firefox Build 62 veröffentlicht werden. Sie wurde erstmals im April in Nightly aktiviert und wurde seitdem durch mehrere Updates und Fehlerkorrekturen verbessert. Manche Fehlerkorrekturen wurden noch nicht in die Betaversion implementiert. Deshalb empfehlen wir, bis auf Weiteres Nightly zu verwenden.
