Adobe Shockwave Player

Can I use it as an offline flash player?

EOL. Ding-Dong, Shockwave's DEAD as of April 9, 2019. Adobe no longer supports it and just posted their very last version EVER, that being for Windows with several critical CVE patches. Good riddance. The curse is over. Read the obituary here:

Flash will soon follow on the stroke of midnight, New Year's Day 2020. Burial party at my place! Shovels supplied. A new era of computer security is on the horizon.

Thank you for any other wonderful post. The place else may anybody get that type of information in such an ideal way of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am at the look for such info. Awsome blog! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am bookmarking your feeds also <b><a href="https://www.softwares2u.com/" title="Adobe Shockwave">Adobe Shockwave</a></b>

The MacUpdate direct download (for registered MU members) has been hacked. Users are redirected to: http://www.qksrv.net/media/offers/?PID=3146232 Hope someone @ MacUpdate is gonna fix this vulnerability!

Adobe can't even be called a sinking ship. It sank long ago, and Shockwave is simply a bubble being sent up from the depths.

Nobody needs this, right?

. I swear, even Adobe®'s own website is maximally confusing on this plugin. https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The website says "10.7 or 10.8" (only) are supported needing Safari® browser as shown by their "System Requirements", but the link for downloading says: https://get.adobe.com/shockwave/download/?installer=Shockwave_12.1.9.160_Full_(OS_X_10.6_and_above)&standalone=1 .                                                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I peeked into the downloaded dmg and opened its pkg file with Pacifist™. The bundle it installs in the '/Library/Application Support' folder as well as the bundle it installs in the '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins' folder both show this: > <key>DTSDKName</key> > <string>macosx10.6</string> in the bundles' "Contents/Info.plist" files. Seems the pkg also installs several framework bundles which also all show the same key/value pair. And many Xtra bundles again all showing the same key/value pair. And guess what? It installs just fine for my Firefox/Nightly gear where it is duly recognized while running under 10.6.8 (/me still stuck using this dilapidated "iMac6,1" model). However, I feel the dmg also contains an Uninstaller app which is incorrectly marked as Not Runnable on 10.6 — for grins I changed its Info.plist file to allow running on 10.6, and it did successfully do what it says here. And the "plugincheck" page at Mozilla.org shows this as an "Unknown Plugin" even tho it displays the correct (new) version/level. So Adobe® still has some 'repairs' to do with this code, if they want to earn my trust, at least. This also means I once–again request MU to show this data to Adobe® on my behalf at least, since I still am not allowed to do so with their websites (they still contain many gizmos which won't pass my thick security filters). For the time being, I am telling Firefox to disable this plugin. :)

*grumble* When Adobe get around to it, the release notes for Shockwave v12.1.9.160 should show up at: https://helpx.adobe.com/shockwave/release-note/release-notes-shockwave-12.html

Version 12.1.9.159 is now out! It is a CRITICAL UPDATE! "Vulnerability Details "This update resolves memory corruption vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2015-5120, CVE-2015-5121). " If you are stuck using the Adobe Shockwave Player plug-in for some reason, this update is CRITICAL! It patches TWO potential security exploits that may be active in-the-wild attacking and pwning computers, including Macs. UPDATE NOW! Here's where you go to grab the Shockwave Player Internet plug-in and Trash it. Remember to restart your web browsers after trashing Shockwave! /Library/Internet Plug-ins/DirectorShockwave.plugin Adobe also offers a Flash uninstaller program which you can find on Adobe's website: Shockwave_Uninstaller.app

Oops. New version (12.1.8.158) was released today. Apparently, installer for this new version once again refuses to see Yosemite as a viable platform, and refuses to install. Keep your old installer (12.1.7.157) around, just in case.

I always download Shockwave updates, just in case, but I no longer install them. I've yet to actually need it for anything. While Flash content is still common on the web, I never encounter anything that requires Shockwave. Maybe I'm going to the wrong web sites. Who uses Shockwave, and what for?

This version (12.1.5r155) is NOT a security update. I'm entirely confused why the notes here on MU mention CVE issues from 2010, four years ago. Obviously, these CVE issues were patched four years ago, not now in 2014. There is no Adobe security bulletin for this version and there won't be. It was released December 11th, 2014. So, huh? - - In any case, it's worth keeping Shockwave up-to-date.

Not install on Yosemite. And once more this is Adobe. They don't care about anything but only money money money. A greedy company that everybody should avoid

Does not install on OS X 10.10

Why You Should Ditch Adobe Shockwave: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/05/why-you-should-ditch-adobe-shockwave/

Plugin updated to v12.1.1.151.

Per below, I had no problem installing 12.1.0r150 on OSX 10.6 on a 2012 Mac Pro -which is supposedly only able to run lion but the 2012 Pros run 10.6 just fine.

For the attention of MacUpdate managers: version 12.0.3.r133 is not restricted to Mac OS X 10.7 and higher, but installs correctly on Mountain Lion (10.6)

This piece of crap crashes all the time.
