Adobe Flash Vulnerability

Adobe has announced a critical vulnerability exists in its current version of Flash Player which can lead to Flash crashing and the attacker taking control. It also affects Adobe Reader & Acrobat. They report that the attack is actively being used.

Crash goes Flash, again, or was that an attack?


The release candidate for the next version appears not to be vulnerable.

So, either sit with the current version with its security implication, or upgrade to some Adobe
preview software which you can download here.

Can’t imagine why Apple don’t want Flash on the iPhone/iPad.

Update: Adobe has fixed the hole. Download.
