Adobe sounds alarm about the attacks on Flash

Adobe has warned the users of its pdf reader about the bugs in the reader and hackers were exploiting these bugs. But now it has come up with the shocking news of the bugs in the one of the most popular software- Adobe Flash. It is a matter of worry since almost all the computer users view video in their browsers with the help of Flash software. However the company told that it would patch Flash in two weeks and Reader in three weeks.In a new security advisory on Monday, Adobe said that the current version of Flash contains a critical flaw already being used in the wild by criminals to attack Windows PCs. According to the advisory,  "This vulnerability could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system".
Unfortunately, the flaw is present in all the Flash including the editions for Mac, Linux, Android.. But Adobe described the attacks as "targeted" and limited". The attacks were targeted against the windows users. The same bug is also present in Adobe Reader and Acrobat, the company's free PDF viewer, and its commercial PDF creation tool. This is quite natural since both Reader and Acrobat include code to run Flash content embedded in PDF documents, making a bug in Adobe's media player typically require a patch for the PDF programs.
Adobe said it would update Flash to fix that program's flaw in two weeks, sometime during the week of Sept. 27. The two bugs in Reader and Acrobat -- the one disclosed last week and Monday's -- will be patched in the week of Oct. 4 with an emergency, or out-of-band security update.
