Adobe Flash update addresses critical security hole.
Analysis: This vulnerability has been used in active attacks although they are apparently not widespread attacks. Attackers will often use newer vulnerabilities and 0days on special targets of high value first. At some point, the exploit code will leak or a post-compromise analysis will reveal the vulnerability and/or the exploit involved and then the gates open for more compromise activity by others with a variety of motives.
