InfoSec Handlers Diary Blog

Several readers pointed out that Adobe released a security update for the Shockwave Player today which apparently can be exploited by a remote website.  No exploit details made public yet.  It should be pointed out that their upgrade instructions recommend uninstalling the old version, rebooting the machine, and then installing the new version.
