Peaches Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 29 October 2010, 01:54 Another critical hole in Adobe Flash, Reader and Acrobat Only a few weeks after its comprehensive patch day, Adobe has had to admit to another critical hole in its products. The problem is once again caused by the Flash Player, which contains a critical security vulnerability. The vulnerable library – authplay – also allows attackers to exploit the hole via PDF files displayed in Adobe Reader. There are already reports of criminals exploiting this flaw to infect computers with malware via specially crafted emails. Adobe say that all versions of Flash Player for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris are affected up to version 10.1.85.3; also affected is Flash Player version 10.1.95.2 for Android. The vulnerable authplay library is shipped with versions 9.x of Reader and Acrobat; versions 8.x are apparently immune. http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Another-critical-hole-in-Adobe-Flash-Reader-and-Acrobat-1127124.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
