TCH-Thomas Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Some media here in Sweden now reports that this was fixed in the latest version (9.0.124.0) although the Secunia report says otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Some media here in Sweden now reports that this was fixed in the latest version (9.0.124.0) although the Secunia report says otherwise. It was. See Adobe's post about it. UPDATE: This exploit appears to be taking advantage of a known vulnerability, reported by Mark Dowd of the ISS X-Force and wushi of team509, that was resolved in Flash Player 9.0.124.0 (CVE-2007-0071). We strongly encourage everyone to download and install the latest Flash Player update, 9.0.124.0. And the Secunia advisory has been revoked. You can check your flash player version by visiting Adobe's Version Test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
