Adobe Flash 9 update to destroy and save Web apps
Adobe is issuing a fresh update to Flash Player 9 and hope to prevent Flash-based Web applications being used to launch attacks against their valued consumers — but the update may also stop the Flash apps working if ever developers don’t heed Adobe’s recommendations. This is a win-win strategy of securing online activity, while at the same time adding flavor to a very good program as it is. Their April update addresses two security flaws in the Adobe Flash 9 would be relating to cross-site scripting (XSS) and DNS rebinding attacks — common techniques used by their opponents to attack computer systems by exploiting flaws in Web applications. This update focuses on features in Adobe used by Web developers to communicate to all users.
