A vulnerability that Adobe has confirmed to exist in a number of its Reader, Flash Player, and Acrobat products is being exploited through malicious Flash code in Web pages, according to one researcher.
[As reported previously, the vulnerability is also being exploited via a malicious PDF file attack that can potentially crash Windows, Macintosh, and Linux operating systems and according to Adobe, "potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system."]
