Adobe Warns of Attacks on New Flash Flaw
Summary: Adobe warned that a critical vulnerability in Flash Player versions 10.1.82.76 and earlier affects Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, UNIX and Android, and can crash Flash or let an attacker seize complete control of a system. Adobe said the flaw was being actively exploited in the wild, with a Flash Player fix expected the week of September 20, 2010 and Reader/Acrobat fixes the week of October 4, 2010.
Key Takeaway: The vulnerable Flash component also ships inside Adobe Acrobat and Reader, so the same flaw reached users through documents as well as browsers, and commenters on the piece reported the first exploiting sites were seen in Korea.
