Adobe has revealed a critical, zero day exploit in Adobe Flash that is affecting WIndows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris, and Android systems. Adobe does not provide much detail about the issue, but does state that the vulnerability could “cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.” The post states that at present, only Flash Player for Windows is being actively exploited. This is the second critical vulnerability being reported by Adobe in under 7 days. Updates on the zero day bug and forthcoming patch can be found on Adobe’s security bulletin website, found here.

    Steve Jobs should listen to everyone who is smart enough to NOT give their money to AT&T for crap service and ripoff plans.

    well really – let’s see, Windows powers about 90 % of computers so let’s rephrase that “don’t worry, only 90% of computers are being actively exploited”.

    Whew, thats a relief.

    A good reason to deinstall Flash on Android until there’s a fix besides that mobile Android is still slow on Snapdragon. Little reason to keep it also since Mafia Wars doesn’t even work properly (thanks Zynga).

    tl;dr means you didn’t read it.

    you obviously did read it if you have a response to his arguments.

    Only carriers are taking advantage of the “open” android OS. Carriers such as the big four are pre-loading their own bloatware onto android devices. In the end it affects the user. http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/09/android-open/

    Josh. Tl;dr can also mean you didn’t read the whole thing… but thanks for playing.

    This is how the world of software works.

    Put it out there >
    hackers exploit a hole >
    put out a fix for the issue >
    repeat process

    Every system is this way. There are no exceptions. Yes that includes apple by the way.
