Symantic and the bug that disappeared

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

First is Symantec reporting about a vulnerability in Adobes Flash that may be causing over 200,000 sites to be in danger, then a few days later Symantec is reporting that they may have made a mistake.

An old version of Flash (version 9.0.115.0) contained the bug causing problems for players with that version, but the problem was fixed on April 8th by Adobe. When Symantec first reported about the problem they hadn’t tested using the latest version of Flash (version 9.0.124.0). If you have the latest version of Flash you don’t have to worry at all, but if you got Windows XP and an older version of Flash you may want to visit www.adobe.com and upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible.
