The fallout from the Hacking Team hack continues for Adobe as late last night they posted a bulletin announcing a upcoming fix for another one of their exploits that leverages everybody’s favorite attack vector, Flash:
A critical vulnerability (CVE-2015-5122) has been identified in Adobe Flash Player 18.0.0.204 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. Successful exploitation could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
A fix will be out next week. This follows a fix for a similar issue earlier this week. Thus another piece of proof that Adobe Flash is horribly insecure and it should be dumped immediately. But if for whatever reason you need to run it, keep your eye out for a fix because you can be sure it will be actively exploited in the days ahead.
