It seem like Adobe is yet again not having a good day in office, as another critical flaw has been identified in their Adobe Flash. According to Adobe’s own note, the exposure lies in Flash Player 10.2.153.1 and earlier versions (Adobe Flash Player 10.2.154.25 and earlier for Chrome users) for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, Adobe Flash Player 10.2.156.12 and earlier versions for Android, and 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. That’s quite an extensive list.

Adobe says that this vulnerability is a serious issue that 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.

Adobe says that it is currently in the process of finalizing a schedule for delivering a fix.
