Thanks for the heads up, I downloaded the installer 2 times and ended up with 169. both times, I thought "am I starting to get crazy, didn't I read on Wilders that a new update was out..." Now this explains why, very kind of them to pull it but still state that 188. is the latest version available
The installers linked in the bottom of this article are all up-to-date and clean installers: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
No, I still get the 169 installer for ppapi.exe (plug-in) According to the thread I linked to issue is still ongoing for some folk. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1842948
This link is updated now: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ppapi.exe From what I can tell so far, the automatic Flash updates are still behind even when using Task Scheduler to run the task. The 'distribution3' page shows .188 but is also behind, providing downloads to previous version. However, the linked page from BoerenkoolMetWorst does have the latest .188 for PPAPI and NPAPI, confirmed.
The link still downloads 169 here. According to a post by Adobe staff member in this thread it is being looked into https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1842948

Adobe issues emergency Flash Player fix. This includes Adobe Flash player for Linux/Unix, version 11.2.202.468. -- Tom
Already cited #185 https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/adobe-security-bulletins.334634/page-8#post-2501204
Hi anon, The reason I posted msg #187 was so that Linux users reading this thread (not assured) would notice it's time to update your Adobe Flash Player. Over in the Unix/Linux subforum - one of the Moderators closed my thread there to notify Unix/Linux users of the new Adobe Flash Player as the new releases came out for it on the basis of this thread's existence presuming that Linux/Unix users would normally access this subforum's thread for Adobe Flash updates. If so, that presumption may or may not be true. My thinking on creating the separate thread over in the Unix/Linux subforum was that it was more likely to be read by Linux/Unix users (as it pertains to that version only) while in this thread most all of the time only Windows versions are mentioned for obvious reasons. -- Tom
The links in the help article I mentioned in post #177 already have updated installers with version number 18.0.0.203
Anyone find the link for the update? I see the latest as .203, but all links I have found install the existing vulnerable download
Try running Windows Update. If you're running Windows 8.1, you get updates for Flash for IE via WU (I just got the update within the last hour (i.e., pretty late) after running WU twice today).
