As reported by theNextWeb.com – the breach of ‘Hacking Team’ has revealed 2 more previously unknown bugs in Adobe Flash.
2 new Flash bugs are critical
This brings the total of Adobe Flash bugs in only a few days to THREE.
After the breach at Hacking Team, a researcher at Trend Micro found a document which detailed the first bug – which was severe enough to allow attackers to control a computer simply because they were running flash and visited a carefully crafted web page.
With these 2 new hacks, Adobe has said they are working on a patch to be released as quickly as possible- Which means this week (we hope). Until this patch is available, it might be wise to either disable flash – or to change the settings so that Flash cannot be run without you approving each instance.
