Ain’t we hearing about too many attacks these days? Well, to fix another bug that is actively exploiting Flash Player to attack PCs running Windows, Adobe has released emergency patches for Flash. Another serious cause of concern is vulnerability in PHP that software writers have come across. PHP is basically a scripting language which is most commonly used in running servers on the Web, which includes that of Facebook.

The company’s bulletin revealed that the fix released by Adobe targets to cure an "object confusion vulnerability" discovered in all versions of the player, right from Windows, Macintosh, Linux to Android- however, it has so far been used only to attack Windows systems using Microsoft's browser software, Internet Explorer.
Once exploited, it can bring down the Flash Player and give an attacker complete control of your system. These malware are arriving through e-mails with an attachment. This e-mail is directed at limited number of users though. Group product manager at Symantec, John Harrison said, “Adobe's PDF file format has become a popular vehicle in recent times for delivering a malicious payload to a computer. The malicious attachments that are coming these days don't include executables; they're a PDF or [Microsoft] Office document.”
The company suggests Windows, Macintosh and Linux users of Flash Player 11.2.202.233 or earlier, to upgrade to the latest version of the program with immediate effect. The same is recommended for Android 4.x using Flash Player 11.1.115.7 and Android 2.x and 3.x using version 11.1.111.8 of the software.
