Adobe has released another Flash Player update to fix a serious security vulnerability that could expose Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris users to cross-site scripting attacks.
“This universal cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2011-2107) could be used to take actions on a user’s behalf on any website or webmail provider, if the user visits a malicious website,” Adobe warned in an advisory.
The release of this Flash Player patch follows reports that the vulnerability is being exploited in the wild in active targeted attacks.
In the targeted attacks, Adobe said users are being tricked into clicking on a malicious link delivered in an email message.
