Adobe patches Flash bug hackers are already exploiting

Adobe Systems Inc. has issued a critical Flash Player security update, repairing six vulnerabilities and at least one flaw being actively targeted by cybercriminals in an email attack.

The zero-day bug fixed today is similar to a flaw in Flash that was patched in June. Coincidentally, both the June vulnerability, and this one patched today were reported to Adobe by Google.

"There are reports that this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in active targeted attacks designed to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link delivered in an email message," said Adobe in Wednesday's advisory as well as the one it published in June. "This universal cross-site scripting issue could be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any website or webmail provider, if the user visits a malicious website."
