Adobe Flash has always been famous for causing numerous problems related to safety and is no different in this case. Users who still have not updated their smartphones with OS10 and the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, you should do this as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the vast majority do not have the slightest reason to panic. The problem concerns the version of the BlackBerry 10 older than 10.1.0.1880 (excluding 10.1.0.1880) and PlayBook OS older than 2.1.0.1753 (excluding 2.1.0.1753).

addition, the software in these releases was available only for the first smartphones with OS10, ie Q10 and Z10, which have already received the relevant updates from all operators. The only reason why they can still continue to use the older version is deliberately withholding use of updating or corporate network administrator’s decision (which probably will allow a long time for an update).

fault has been determined on a scale CVSS at 6.8 point and in the case of a successful attack, the need to download or run a Flash object on a device with an older version of the system theoretically allows for remote code execution on our smartphone and tablet.

If you have not installed a newer version than 10.1.0.1880 (BB10) or 2.1.0.1753 (PlayBook OS), it is recommended to disable the use of Adobe Flash in the browser.
