Hi,

Yes, if Flash is configured to auto update then the system will automatically update to the latest version, 19.0.0.226. There are a number of ways to determine if the system is updated:

Windows:

Check the version number in the files saved at:
- C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
- C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
In the registry:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer > CurrentVersion
  - But if you have multiple browsers, you can check the version for each player type:
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX > Version
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPepper > Version
    - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPluginReleaseType > Version
- If you have 64-bit OS you'll want to check the corresponding Wow6432Node node as well (although, the installed version should be the same for both 32- and 64-bit versions)

OS X:

NPAPI Plugin: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Info.plist > CFBundleVersion
PPAPI Plugin: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/PepperFlashPlayer/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin/Contents/Info.plist > CFBundleVersion

Since you're an IT shop, I'd recommend that you also subscribe to the Adobe Security Notification Service for notifications on the availability of security updates across all Adobe products:

Maria,

Thank you for the response. I may be mistaken but I believe 19.0.0.266 is the version prior to the latest zero day patch issued by Adobe. I am wondering how to determine if the critical zero day patch is applied as the version number does not appear to change with the zero day patch.

Thanks again

Todd

Hi https://forums.adobe.com/people/FCHN%20IT%20Infrastructure,

19.0.0.266 is the most recent release, addressing the 0-day in APSB15-27 (Adobe Security Bulletin). The version prior was 19.0.0.207.
