"The attacks can be performed using web pages with flash content but also via email containing documents with embedded malicious flash content. Adobe has advised that Protected View for Office should be enabled which opens potentially dangerous Office files in read-only mode.

Adobe is yet the issue a security patch that addresses flash player’s remote code execution bug. Users are advised to disable flash player until the update arrives on February 5.

So, it won’t cause any problems even if users uninstall Flash Player if they don’t use it regularly.

If you have Flash Player running on your system, you can check the version by visiting a web page with Flash content. Right-click on the content and click ‘About Adobe (or Macromedia).’ You can also visit this page to check the same. In Windows 10, you can visit Settings > Apps.
