Description Vincent Danen 2011-04-11 19:10:25 EDT

Adobe has released APSA11-02 [1] to warn of a new critical vulnerability in
Adobe Flash Player 10.x.  The vulnerability is described as:

This vulnerability (CVE-2011-0611) 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 Word (.doc) file delivered as an email attachment, targeting the Windows platform. At this time, Adobe is not aware of any attacks via PDF 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 Reader 9.x for UNIX.
