InfosecWarrior writes "Adobe issued an alert late Friday night to warn about zero-day attacks against an unpatched vulnerability in its Reader and Flash Player software products. The vulnerability, described as critical, affects Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris operating systems. It also affects the authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x for Windows, Macintosh, and Unix operating systems."

    Don't worry, Michael Crawford (aka Super Debugger aka Jonathan Swift aka Jesus h-Bar Christ aka hotcoder@gmail.com) will solve the software problem. Solve it? Yes. He's one of the best (if not the greatest) debuggers ever. He can find most bugs by merely reading the source code.

    Software failure is not a technical problem but a human problem. Michael Crawford realized this and has developed the Crawfordian Psychoanalysis Manifesto which will end the software problem once and for all. He will fix not just bugs in code but bugs in the mind

    I am absolutely serious.
