Critical Security Updates for Adobe Acrobat, Flash, Reader
Summary: Adobe released an update to fix a critical vulnerability in Flash Player, Acrobat, and Reader, a week after warning that attackers were already exploiting the Flash flaw in targeted attacks. The Flash fix covers version 10.2.152.33 and earlier on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris, plus 10.1.106.16 and earlier on Android, while Reader X users on Windows and Mac will not see a fix until the quarterly update scheduled for June 14, 2011, because Adobe says Protected Mode blocks this kind of exploit.
Key Takeaway: Adobe confirmed attackers were already using this Flash flaw in targeted attacks before the patch shipped, and Reader X users were left waiting until June 14, 2011 for a fix.
