It is time once again to go plug your Adobe hole. I know it is a pain in the butt having to plug your Adobe hole all the time but, trust me on this, it is better than having your Adobe hole exploited.

An important vulnerability has been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181.16 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.22 and earlier versions for Android. This universal cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2011-2107) could be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any website or webmail provider, if the user visits a malicious website. There are reports that this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in active targeted attacks designed to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link delivered in an email message.

What scares me is the fact that some even look forward to getting their Adobe hole plugged on a regular basis :eek::p
 
Having your Adobe hole plugged often keeps you healthy and safe, since plugging will prevent malicious attacks and wrongful intrusions on your adobe hole.
 
You wouldn't have to plug another adobe hole each month if it was made just a little less attractive to people looking for things to exploit.
 
I wish Adobe would launch each Flash instance in a separate process and sandbox it like nothing has been sandboxed before. Adobe kinda got its act together on Acrobat (Reader) X and Flash is long overdue for a similar security overhaul.

I was about to post "best news I heard all day" and it's been a pretty nice day today. I'd rather have Flash patched than not.
 
Window popped up saying: 'Adobe reader is insecure....' WTF does it want ....... a cuddle?
 
Rubbing java on your adobe hole... niceness...

wow.... that sounds odd and erotic.
 
This is why I use Chrome. It auto updates any plugins. So no reason to download manually and install.
