This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below. Hi all,
A couple of days ago Macromedia released a critical update to Flash player, and I think it's a really good idea to install it. The update fixes several buffer overflows and methods of bypassing the sandbox. Now we all know how powerful Flash is, imagine what it could do if misused. I think Flash is mature enough that it's possible to write a worm in it that spreads by email, reads your files, accesses your microphone / webcam, steals your files and poisons your cat. And with a 75% install base, IMHO it's only a matter of time... What do you all think? Anyway, here's the link for the Macromedia bulletin: http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=23821 Cheers, Vik --------------------- Viktor Radnai Web Developer, National E-Commerce, Ernst & Young Direct: +61 2 9248 4361 -- Even paranoids have enemies -------------------- NOTICE - This communication contains information which is confidential and the copyright of Ernst & Young or a third party.
