OVERVIEW
A vulnerability has been reported in multiple Adobe products which
is currently being exploited.
Adobe has released updates for Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader and
Adobe Acrobat.
IMPACT
Current reports indicate that successful exploitation of this
vulnerability can result in the execution of arbitrary code. [1]
PDF files and Flash movies are some of the vectors being used to
exploit this vulnerability. In the meantime users can disable the
Flash plugin and not open PDF files from untrusted sources. As
exploit code has been seen in legitimate websites, users should
also consider disabling Flash and PDF extensions in their web
browsers.
MITIGATION
Adobe has released an update for Flash Player 10 (version 10.0.32.18)
and 9 (version 9.0.246.0) as well as Adobe AIR (version 1.5.2). [3]
Adobe has also released updates for Adobe Reader (version 9.1.3) and
Adobe Acrobat (version 9.1.3). [3]
Solaris users currently have no update for Adobe Reader or Adobe
Flash Player. No timeline for Solaris has been provided by Adobe.
US-CERT have also recommended that Windows administrators rename
the affected dll's until fixes are made available. [2]
