With the exploit listed below, there seems to be a solution path for those who run the normal player on common platforms.
What about those who run either the debug player OR run flash on other platorms such as Linux? I guess this will improve the adoption rate of FP8. Wish FP8.5 was already out to take advantage of this. ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MPSB05-07 Flash Player 7 Improper Memory Access Vulnerability Learn more: http://www.macromedia.com/go/mpsb05-07 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary: A vulnerability in Macromedia Flash Player 7 has been identified that could allow the execution of arbitrary code. ~~~~~~~ Solution: The current version of Macromedia Flash Player (8.0.22.0) contains a fix for the vulnerability.
