Adobe has made available updated versions of Adobe Flash Player for
Linux to address a critical security flaw that could be exploited to
take control of vulnerable systems. The vulnerability can be exploited
through a specially crafted SWF file. The vulnerability affects Adobe
Flash Player versions 10.0.12.36 and earlier and 9.0.151.0 and earlier;
users are urged to update Adobe Flash Player on their systems to version
10.0.15.3. Users who for technical reasons are unable to upgrade to
10.0.15.3 can update to version 9.0.152.0. The process requires manual
download and installation. The flaw does not affect Adobe for Windows
or Mac OS X.
