In Adobe’s security bulletin ( APSB12-19) they recommend users update their product installations to the latest versions:

“Last week's release effectively pushed out the date for this bigger release, probably due to scheduling and resource conflicts.” “My interpretation is that last week's release was an out-of-band emergency fix to address a specific vulnerability that was being abused in the wild and that could not be integrated with this bigger release,” opined Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys. The real head scratcher is timing, what is going on with the planning and release management program at Adobe to warrant this?” "You have to ask yourself why these bug fixes were not included in last week’s release. “Adobe just patched Flash on August 14th with APSB12-18 and releasing back to back updates does not bode well," said Andrew Storms, nCircle’s director of security operations. Just over a week ago, Adobe issued a set of patches to address more than 20 security issues in Adobe Reader, Shockwave and Flash. The security updates address critical vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system, though Adobe said it is not aware of any exploits in the wild for any of the issues being patched as part of today's release.

Adobe on Tuesday released updates that address multiple security vulnerabilities across various versions of Adobe Flash Player running on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Android.
