Descriptions
A regression affecting Adobe Flash Player version 27.0.0.187 (and earlier versions) causes the unintended reset of the global settings preference file when a user clears browser data.
Una regresión que afecta a Adobe Flash Player en su versión 27.0.0.187 (y anteriores) provoca el restablecimiento accidental del archivo de preferencias de configuraciones globales cuando un usuario borra los datos del navegador.
