    Critical Security Update for Adobe Flash Player
    - http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/index#-330930387
    Severity: High Severity
    Published: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 19:20
    Adobe releases a critical update for Flash Player, and also rolls in a more functional automatic update process.
    Analysis: Flash has been hit hard by malware authors and use for all sorts of attacks. In the past, it's patching mechanism has been flawed and difficult to use, especially for the average computer user. Their new background update function* should make this easier.

    Flash Player update closes critical object confusion hole
    Severity: High Severity
    - http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/
    Published: Monday, May 07, 2012
    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.

    Adobe to release patches for CS5.x ...
    - http://h-online.com/-1574341
    12 May 2012 - "Adobe has announced* – through changes to the security advisories it issued earlier this week – that it is developing patches for the critical holes in the CS5.x versions of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash Professional, after previously advising users that they needed to buy the just-released CS6 versions of the applications... Adobe has given no schedule for the availability of patches. In the original 8 May advisories, the company had said only that users of these products would need to purchase the upgrade from the CS5 and CS5.5 versions to the, just shipping on 7 May, CS6 versions to close the critical holes they were detailing; a move that was seen as effectively charging for security fixes..."
