Adobe issued a security advisory earlier this week for a potentially serious flaw discovered in its Shockwave application. Adobe has quickly developed a fix for the issue, though, which will be available on Thursday.
The Adobe security advisory explains, "A critical vulnerability exists in Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5.8.612 and earlier versions on the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. This vulnerability (CVE-2010-3653) could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system."
Adobe is releasing a patch to address a flaw in Adobe Shockwave.The Shockwave Player is installed on more than 450 million Windows and Mac PCs. Shockwave may seem redundant when compared with Adobe Flash--both being Adobe applications dedicated to online interactive content.
