Apple Security Update 2010-004 / Mac OS X v10.6.4 Shipping with Outdated Version of Adobe Flash Player

Posted on June 15, 2010 by | Comments (0)

Earlier today, Apple released security update 2010-004 / Mac OS X v10.6.4. This update includes an earlier version of Adobe Flash Player (version 10.0.45.2) than available from Adobe.com. While the Mac OS X v10.6.4 update does not appear to downgrade users who have already upgraded to Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe recommends users verify they are using the latest, most secure version of Flash Player (10.1.53.64) available for download from http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.
To verify the Adobe Flash Player version number installed on your system (after applying the Mac OS X security update), access the About Flash Player page, or right-click on content running in Flash Player and select “About Adobe Flash Player” from the menu. If you use multiple browsers, checking on any one browser will verify the update for all browsers on Macintosh systems (on Windows, perform the check for each browser you have installed on your system).

Security Advisory for Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Acrobat

Posted on June 4, 2010 by | Comments (0)

A Security Advisory has been posted in regards to a new Adobe Reader, Acrobat and Flash Player issue (CVE-2010-1297). A critical vulnerability exists in Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris operating systems, and the authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX operating systems. This vulnerability 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 both Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe Reader and Acrobat.
The Flash Player 10.1 Release Candidate available on http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ does not appear to be vulnerable.
Adobe Reader and Acrobat 8.x are confirmed not vulnerable. Mitigations for Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x are included in the Security Advisory.
We will continue to provide updates on this issue via the Security Advisory section of the Adobe website, as well as the Adobe PSIRT blog.
