Description Vincent Danen 2011-03-14 19:05:50 EDT

Adobe has released APSA11-01 [1] to warn of a new critical vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 10.x.  The expected release is the week of March 21st.  The vulnerability is described as:

This vulnerability (CVE-2011-0609) could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. There are reports that this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in targeted attacks via a Flash (.swf) file embedded in a Microsoft Excel (.xls) file delivered as an email attachment. Adobe is not currently aware of attacks targeting Adobe Reader and Acrobat. Adobe Reader X Protected Mode mitigations would prevent an exploit of this kind from executing.

This flaw does not affect Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.x for UNIX.
