    Broni--Thanks for the bad news. Please keep us updated if a fix is offered.
    frebo--I do not think Flash has anything to do with Adobe Reader, but I could be wrong.

    Broni--The first page of the Secunia link you provided really did not say too much. I clicked on the 2008 advisories and could not find reference to the versions of Flash that are vulnerable. Do you have a link for that?
    I ran Secunia's Online Software Inspector scan. It said 9.0.124.0 (on my PC) is OK.
    I wonder if there is some confusion with the April vulnerability announcement from Adobe, where they suggest updating to 9.0.124.0http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb08-11.html
    However PSI did say that my Macromedia Flash Player (v 6.0.79.0) is "insecure" and should be updated to v 6.0.88.0.

    I think, it may take time from issuing a warning to actually update PSI database.
    The article mentions ver. 9.0.124.0, which is the latest, but it says, that all 9.x versions may be affected.
    No Flash update, yet.
