Ever since I downloaded this latest Flash patch for my Mac book, I have had problems loading several sites that I go to often, WMAL being the worst offender.

Thanks for posting this. Flash, because it is used so much on websites, is definitely an attack vector that we all need to keep a watch out for. I've got the adobe yum repository set up here, so updates are automagic. For Firefox users, it's a good idea to validate that the plugin you think is being used, is actually the one that is being used. Enter "about:plugins" in your address bar, and take a look at what's there.

Good ol Adobe, always putting in that extra effort to make sure their software is annoying.

Help eliminate Adobe's starnglehold. Donate money or your coding skills to The Gnash Project.

Gnash is the GNU SWF movie player, which can be run standalone on a computer or an embedded device, as well as as a plugin for several browsers. It is a part of the GNU Project that aims to create a free software player and browser plugin for the Adobe Flash file format. It developed from the GPLFlash project.

Flash! Adobe Flash needs to be updated due to severe ZERO DAY security vulnerability that "could allow execution" of malicious code when a user views a maliciously crafted Flash file—PING!

Supposedly works on Windows, Linux and OS X—but, remember, a vulnerability does not an exploit make.

Nasty Adobe FLASH Vulnerability Ping!
