Like the Chrome web browser of the company that provides Google information search service, IE10 browser on Windows 8 operating system is integrated by Microsoft Flash Player software.

According to Dean of the IE group, Dean Hachamovitch, this Flash version is also capable of updating via Windows Update like IE, to help "make security updates more convenient for customers."

However, while Adobe released two security updates and patched eight vulnerabilities in August, Windows 8 RTM started to come to users (unofficially) without two fixes. .

One of the eight Flash bugs has been exploited by hackers, probably for months. With the above update mechanism, the responsibility of updating Flash belongs to Microsoft, not Adobe.

Flash update version September 21, 2012 for users of Windows 8 RTM and Windows 8 Release Preview versions, can be downloaded for free until January 31, 2013.

This version will upgrade IE10's Flash Player on Windows 8 RTM to version 11.3.374.7. Adobe confirmed Flash 11.3.374.7 is the version that patched the eight vulnerabilities it released on August 14 and 21.
