Flash Security Hole

Posted by Hemos on Monday March 10, 2003 @12:34AM from the who-needs-security dept.

otterpop378 wrote to us about a From report on CNN about a new security hole in Flash. Evidently, it's pretty big, as Macromedia wants everyone to update - sounds like the sandbox isn't quite working as it should.

I didn't see anything posted to the lists (Bugtraq, Vulnwatch, Full Disclosure, etc.) about this either, until the Gentoo announcement yesterday. For an issue Macromedia calls critical, they sure are being quiet about it.

www.homestarrunner.com completely justfies flash on its own.

I visited the site only to find nothing about the security hole. Crisis by denial? Download section also had nothing to tell you there was a security hole. Just one big nothing.
