The Abobe Flash Player patch released on 31Aug09 resolved an Adobe Flash Player vulnerability that was 8 months old. For additional info on this see ZDNet article titled, Adobe 'zero-day' flaw is eight months old: http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=3792
The author of the article did not mention the age of the Adobe Flash Player vulnerability in the following sentence: "And Adobe issued a patch last week for a critical Flash Player problem that was being exploited, allowing attackers to take over a computer via content viewed in a browser."
Nor did the author of the article take Arkin to task for the the next sentence in the article: '"We are quite happy with the performance on those," Arkin said of the time frame for the patches.'
Two missed opportunities. And as far as I'm concerned, poor reporting/journalism.
