Adobe Secures Flash, With Help From Google

Adobe is under tremendous pressure to do more to secure its Flash Player technology, which has been aggressively exploited in 2015.

However, the largest single source of Flash exploit discovery so far in July was not a zero-day exploit, but rather it was from Google's Project Zero security initiative. Adobe credited Google with the discovery of 20 CVEs in its APSB15-16 security bulletin. But as it turns out, Google didn't just report vulnerabilities in Flash; the company went a step further and is helping Adobe remediate the flaws and prevent them in the first place.
