It does make you wonder if it's worth while having it installed

Mine updated I think last week or the week before to 10.2.152.33 which is the current for Macs. 10.2.152.32 is current for windows.

I thought Flash player's sole function in life was to be vulnerable?  ;D

Hmmm. Mine updated today... Well, maybe because I actually did a restart :P
I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.

I always check the Adobe site just to make sure, tbh flash is an incredible pain and after being updated about ten days ago, to now have a zero day vulnerability is just ridiculous.
