This version finally gives users control of their Flash cookies, but only if one of the currently supported web browsers is used: Firefox 4, Chrome 11, Internet Explorer 8 (or higher) and, soon, Safari. The new ClearSiteData API allows the browser to take care of Flash cookies (LSOs – Local Shared Objects), which it can manage as though they were normal cookies. Up until this release, users had to visit the Settings Manager on Adobe&#39;s website to handle the stubborn Flash cookies.<br /> The update closes 11 security holes, most of which are critical memory flaws that allow attackers to inject malicious code. </p> <p>new update date 15:May:2011 </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/9546#post-90133 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 09:55:19 +0000 hotdoge3 90133@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/adobe-warns-of-new-flash-player-zero-day-attack/8524?tag=nl.e539" rel="nofollow">http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/adobe-warns-of-new-flash-player-zero-day-attack/8524?tag=nl.e539</a></p> <p>AFFECTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS</p> <p> Adobe Flash Player 10.2.153.1 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris operating systems<br /> Adobe Flash Player 10.2.154.25 and earlier for Chrome users<br /> Adobe Flash Player 10.2.156.12 and earlier for Android<br /> The Authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat X (10.0.2) and earlier 10.x and 9.x versions for Windows and Macintosh operating systems</p> <p><a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2043584/adobe-issues-emergency-fix-flash-player-flaw" rel="nofollow">http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2043584/adobe-issues-emergency-fix-flash-player-flaw</a></p> <p>Adobe issues an emergency fix for Flash Player flaw<br /> But Microsoft should stop embedding Flash in Office files<br /> By Asavin Wattanajantra, Thu Apr 14 2011</p> <p>SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Adobe will release a Flash Player update tomorrow, moving very quickly to plug a zero-day vulnerability found earlier in the week.</p> <p>The fix will be made available for Flash Player on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris.

This exploit differs from the typical Flash Player attacks we’ve seen where a victim is lured into browsing to a website hosting malicious Flash content. Instead, these attacks involve a malicious Flash .swf file that is embedded into a Microsoft Excel document.<br /> First, customers using Microsoft Office 2010 are not susceptible to the current attacks. The current attacks do not bypass the Data Execution Prevention security mitigation (DEP).<br /> To be protected by EMET, there are a few steps you need to follow. You first need to download the tool, install it, and then finally configure it to protect an application. It’s a good idea to configure EMET to protect not just Excel,*</p> <p><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/8853" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/8853</a> (info on EMET)</p> <p><a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2011/03/17/a-technical-analysis-on-the-cve-2011-0609-adobe-flash-player-vulnerability.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2011/03/17/a-technical-analysis-on-the-cve-2011-0609-adobe-flash-player-vulnerability.aspx</a></p> <p><a href="https://secunia.com/" rel="nofollow">https://secunia.com/</a></p> <p>Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
