Description
A vulnerability has been reported in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user’s system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a vulnerable bundled version of Flash Player (authplay.dll).
For more information:
SA40026
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is reported in version 9.3.2 and earlier 9.x versions for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX.
NOTE: The vulnerability is currently being actively exploited.
Update:
Everything I am reading seems to indicate this is actually a vulnerability in the version 10.0.45.2 of Flash and there is a common component that is also included in reader. So, this will probably require patches for both products before it is addressed.
