Faille sous Flash
Par Contributeur - Publié le
Macromedia Inc. is warning its users of what it calls a critical security flaw found in the latest version of its Flash animation player. It is advising customers to immediately install a new version just released on its Web site which should fix the security hole. [...] In its alert, the company said the vulnerability involves the player's "sandbox," which acts as a safety zone between a user's system and code downloaded from the Internet to be run within the player. The flaw, which would let an attacker create a buffer overflow, could enable an attacker to gain access to a user's system.
En gros, après une petite manipulation, un pirate peut vous envoyer des données qui seront exécutées par le player Flash. Plus d'infos chez CNN ou avec le communiqué de Macromedia.
