Critical unpatched vulnerability in Adobe Flash, Reader and Acrobat
Adobe has announced a critical unpatched vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and earlier versions for all platforms. This vulnerability is also present in the embedded Flash functionality of Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader, for all platforms. The vulnerability allows an attacker to take control of an affected computer, and is actively being exploited. Adobe does not yet have a patch for the problem. The Flash Player 10.1 release candidate at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10 is not vulnerable, so although it is in "beta", it may be worthwhile to consider running it.
