New Flash vulnerability discovered... (bleh)

Usual browsing precautions apply. And NoScript is your friend. Vulnerabilities like this are always found and exploited. I'm not worried.
Shiva.Flionheart said: Vulnerabilities like this are always found and exploited. I'm not worried. The point is that when you're browsing community websites, most of them rely on advertising for site expenses and these in turn rely on scheduled/databases of ADs which might be poisoned/exploited. This was how RMT got a lot of PCs trojaned and from that, several FFXI accounts got hacked. It will happen again if people are not careful. So "I'm not worried" is fine for you. Adobe said a fix is in the works and it might take up to two weeks for deployment. During that time it's a good idea to keep distance from sites with ADs or remove/disable flash completely. Oh and other Adobe products like Acrobat(PDF), for example are also affected. Gilgamesh.Thedreamer

Caitsith.Shiroi said: Quote: The attack involves a malicious PDF file Quote: this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x," though so far, not against Flash Player. I'm not sure what to think of this article it's very misleading, they warn about Flash but the exploit only affects PDF readers. Then please read this link: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa10-05.html ADOBE itself states that the Adobe Reader and Acrobat products are affected because they contain Flash. If anyone insist on "making sex without a condom" it's their problem. The warning was given, though. |
