Adobe, Apple Issue Security Updates
Summary: Adobe released a critical patch fixing at least 20 vulnerabilities in Shockwave Player 11.5.7.609 and earlier on Windows and Mac, recommending users upgrade to 11.5.8.612. Apple issued updates correcting 13 flaws in Mac OS X Server 10.5, Mac OS X 10.5.8, Mac OS X Server 10.6, and Mac OS X 10.6.4, available via Software Update or Apple Downloads.
Bottom line: Twenty vulnerabilities in a browser plugin many users may not even know they have installed, plus 13 more in Mac OS X, means unpatched endpoints carry known flaws that attackers can target before users get around to updating.
