This vulnerability (CVE-2011-0609) could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system. There are reports that this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in targeted attacks via a Flash (.swf) file embedded in a Microsoft Excel (.xls) file delivered as an email attachment... We are in the process of finalizing a fix for the issue and expect to make available an update for Flash Player 10.x and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Solaris and Android, and an update for Adobe Acrobat X (10.0.1) and earlier 10.x and 9.x versions for Windows and Macintosh, Adobe Reader X (10.0.1) for Macintosh, and Adobe Reader 9.4.2 and earlier 9.x versions during the week of March 21, 2011..."

Flash exploits in-the-wild - SPAM attachments...
- http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002127.html
March 23, 2011 - "Attackers have been taking advantage of the situation in Japan to trick their targets into opening malicious files. These cases have used infected Excel attachments with Flash exploits... Another sample we've seen (md5:20ee090487ce1a670c192f9ac18c9d18) is an Excel file containing an embedded Flash object that exploits a known vulnerability (CVE-2011-0609). When the XLS file is opened, it shows an empty Excel spreadsheet and starts exploit code via a Flash object. The Flash object starts by doing a heap-spray... the Flash object constructs and loads a second Flash object in runtime... This second Flash object is the main exploit in this malware and it exploits CVE-2011-0609 to execute the shellcode in the heap... As an aside: the main exploit appears to have been delivered in this fashion in an attempt to evade detection. As it is loaded in memory, no physical file is available for scanning by an antivirus engine. Embedding the Flash object that loads the main exploit in an Excel file may be an attempt to further disguise the attack... users should update their Flash player as Adobe has already released a patch for this particular vulnerability. For more information, please see their security advisory*..."
