Flash On Fire Again

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Well, once again we are faced with a new critical vulnerability from Adobe Flash player.  This one is for version 10.1.82.76 and earlier, running on Window, Apple’s Macintosh, Linux, Google’s Android and Solaris.

If exploited, the vulnerability crashes the computer, thus opening it up for an attacker to control the computer.  While there have been reports of this exploit in the wild, Adobe states they are not aware of any attacks from this vulnerability at this time.

At the current time there is no fix for this, as Adobe is working on a patch.  Your best solution is to use Mozilla Firefox with scripts disabled, blocking Adobe’s Flash player.

Tired of Dealing With Security Flaws?

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Adobe Reader.  The critical flaw could let an attacker (or attackers) take control of a computer.

Microsoft also released multiple software patches which address 34 flaws in Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Windows, among others.

While Adobe will not be releasing the fix until tomorrow, our client’s who are using our Family Protection Services have already had a temporary fix put in place and will be receiving the updated fix automatically tomorrow.

Another benefit to our Family Protection Services is that we test the patches before they are applied.  Our goal is to Eliminate Frustration, not cause it, and because sometimes the cure is worse than the cause, we test everything.
