| Thanks for this, dp  !
As always, when installing the patch, it must be applied to each Browser you currently run.
Avoid all third-party offerings such as Google Toolbar, etc - unless you implicitly want these. |

Hmmm... what does this mean?
My ActiveX version stayed the same, only my Plug-in version updated.
Oh OK, ActiveX is the IE version. Here's an explanation. »forums.adobe.com/message/4644774···#4644774

Thanks. Too bad Chrome is always late in updating the version used there. |

I think it's very courteous of Adobe/Macromedia to make sure a newer and/or remaining unaddressed exploit is included with every new and "patched" version of the Flash Player. |

said by dp:Summary
...Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.36 and earlier versions for Android 4.x, I'm not seeing an Android version on the download page. IIRC, Android stopped offering Flash, but there was a workaround if you already had Flash that allowed updating, which I have in the past. But I don't see it offered here.
The bulletin says Users of Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.36 and earlier versions on Android 4.x devices should update to Adobe Flash Player 11.1.115.37*.
* Note: Applicable only for Android 4.x devices with Flash Player installed prior to August 15, 2012.

1 edit | If you scroll down on this page, the latest apks for android are there (ICS & pre-ICS), you just have to sideload it.
»helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/···ons.html
Edit: I'm on Gingerbread & can still get flash updates through the Play Store, not sure about ICS. If you currently have Flash installed, try going to My Apps > All in the Play Store App & see if it lists Adobe Flash Player. If so, click it & see what it offers. I already had the latest for GB from January. |

You cannot get Adobe Flash Player updates on Android Icecream Sandwich (ICS) or Jellybean (JB) unless it was pre-installed. Flash is not available for download from the Play Store app. As you said you must manually download the APK file (installer) and run that. Note that most devices won't allow APK's to be run manually--you have to enable that (and disable it again afterwards).
I've installed the latest Flash on my Android (JB) tablet and it seems to work ok in Firefox 18.0.2 for Android.

said by siljaline:I'm not sure your at any advantage running an outdated Android version. Fickey may not have a choice. I'm fortunate in that my tablet manufacturer released a JB (4.1.1) update for a product that came with ICS (4.0.4). That said many older devices (from the same manufacturer) are stuck with GB.

If you choose not to use them, the onus in on the user or am I missing something. |

| What you're missing is that manufacturers/carriers don't release Android updates for all their products (old/new) forever.
Some devices will never progress beyond Android Gingerbread because the time/effort to do it isn't worth it to the manufacturer. For example why would they update a 2yr old phone?
