Adobe Flash Player Update
March 2009
Adobe Systems Inc. has shipped an update for its ubiquitous Flash player that fixes at least five security flaws. A few of the flaws are critical, meaning users could have malicious software installed on their system merely by visiting a Web page that features a booby-trapped Flash movie. Individuals will need to apply two different versions of this patch: One is designed for Internet Explorer, and another updates the Flash player in Firefox, Opera and Safari. This can be accomplished by visiting the Web site twice, once with IE, and then again with Firefox or whichever other browser they are using. The patch plugs security holes in Flash player 10.0.12.36 and earlier. Updates are available for Flash versions made for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
