Adobe: Flash Exploit Detected

Adobe has warned users of it’s Flash Player of a possible denial of service attack and has urged users to apply an update for it.

The exploit affects what’s called Flash remoting – essentially the provision of server-based application services via Flash, as opposed to via HTML, Active Server Pages or some other wrapper. Though an exploit itself has not yet been discovered, Adobe engineers found that a certain form of Flash remoting command sent to ColdFusion servers (another acquired Macromedia technology) triggers an infinite loop process that will not stop itself.
