Software maker Adobe (motto: security is hard) has announced that they've released a fix for a critical flaw in their Shockwave multimedia player. This flaw could allow remote exploitation of a vulnerable computer.
Adobe claims that the flaw had been fixed in an earlier version of the product, and recommends uninstalling whatever Shockwave version is currently being used, rebooting the machine, then installing the latest version.
"This issue was previously resolved in Shockwave Player 11.0.0.465; the Shockwave Player 11.5.0.600 update resolves a backwards compatibility mode variation of the issue with Shockwave Player 10 content," the company stated.Adobe is currently unaware of any exploits for this particular vulnerability.
