| Adobe Flash Vulnerability Quote:
The US-CERT computer security advisory service warned on Wednesday that a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 9 is being actively exploited to install malicious software on computers that haven't installed the relevant security patch.
The vulnerability, which affects systems including Windows and Mac OS X, could allow an attacker to take control of the computer or cause it to crash if the user opens specially crafted Flash content
| I've heard of this vulnerability from multiple sources (Work, news, Blizzard's World of Warcraft front page) so this will be a serious vulnerability to keep an eye out for.
The update took about a minute so its very painless http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash |
