Adobe Adored by the Malware Makers
|
This security-related article has been issued as an extra to the scheduled articles on kkomp.com .
Adobe are currently under attack by shedloads of malware and have recently become the number 1 target. They’ve just had to issue an urgent update for their flash player, after a remotely exploitable vulnerability resulting in code execution with user privileges was discovered. Read this security advisory. Having read that; the best course of action is to upgrade your flash program to 10.0.22.87. If you can’t or won’t do that then there is also an update for Flash 9 to version 9.0.151.0 for Windows & Mac, and 9.0.152.0 for Linux. (For unsupported operating systems.) Please update all browsers that you are using and have Flash installed on.
Your system is always targeted. Also having vulnerabilities of script injection attack are RoboHelp7, 6, Server7, and Server 6 on Windows. At least Microsoft are in effect getting a breather. It seemed only a short while ago that Adobe were untouchable: But why should Microsoft have all the fun?

Thx for the post.I didn’t knew about adobe being attacked by malware.Thx for the update link too.
YW. I considered that, had this been a Microsoft patch, then it would have been rated critical or at least important; therefore I thought it fitting to issue this security advisory in order to make people aware of the issues.
