Adobe Flash zero-day exploit threatens PCs

News outlets are reporting that a previously unknown security flaw in the Flash multimedia plugin is exposing Windows-based PCs to risk. The exploit affects Adobe Flash Player 9.0.115.0 and 9.0.124.0, allowing execution of arbitrary code. Sources say thousands of web pages, which have been compromised earlier via SQL injections and other hacking techniques, are already redirecting browsers to malware sites containing the Flash exploit code.
