Adobe POC in the Wild

Adobe POC in the Wild
On June 5th Handler Guy posted a diary about a Security Advisor for Adobe Products. http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?date=2010-06-05 We have received notification that a proof of concept (POC) has been found in malware taken from the wild and is currently being exploited. For those that are Adobe users please patch before it is too late. Thanks to our readers who brought this to our attention. Update: For more information see US-CERT Technical Cyber Security Alert TA10-159A. http://www.us-cert.gov/cas/techalerts/TA10-159A.html Thanks to those of you who have pointed out that I made a mistake in the Diary. It appears that there is not a patch available rather currently just mitigation steps. It looks like the patch will be released for Flash Player soon and for Reader and Acrobat later in the month. Deb Hale Long Lines, LLC It appears that the Security Update has been released by Adobe. Thanks to Juha-Matti for providing this information. http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-14.html	Deborah 278 Posts ISC Handler

For mitigation in Windows, Adobe recommends renaming authplay.dll But US-CERT recommends renaming 2 files: authplay.dll rt3d.dll ??	K-Dee 63 Posts

The post from US-CERT mentions that renaming/deleting rt3d.dll is to just to display a user-friendly error message instead of having it crash.	K-Dee 1 Posts
