Silly, silly Adobe. The company is facing serious trouble after a “critical vulnerability” was found in its Flash Player.
The company said yesterday that the flaw could cause a user’s computer or mobile device to crash. On top of that the vulnerability could “potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.”
Steve Job's has now got a whole load of fuel for his fire. Writing last year in an open letter Jobs said that “Flash is the No. 1 reason Macs crash.” He also said that it “Flash had one of worst security records in 2009 and “We don’t want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods, and iPads by adding Flash.”
Usually you would laugh and his obvious personal vendetta, but it seems he will be the one laughing this time as Android running devices potentially crash and burn due to the Flash vulnerability.
Adobe plans to release a fix sometime next week.
