Adobe Zero Day under attack

ZDNet Clicky

The flaw in Flash Player 10.1.82.76 and earlier and Adobe Acrobat and Reader 9.3.4 (current version) and earlier on Windows (all versions), OS X, Linux. Solaris and Android.


	adobe wrote: This vulnerability (CVE-2010-2884) could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. There are reports that this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild against Adobe Flash Player. Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting this vulnerability against Adobe Reader or Acrobat to date.

Looking at the problem, it looks like the Reader/Acrobat side of the problem is due to the fact that you can embed a Flash "document" inside a PDF file.

The only systems which don't seem to be affected are Windows Mobile and Apple's iOS - neither of which support Flash.
