Teresa Hunter: Serious flaw in banking regulation is no laughing matter
IN THEORY, regulation to protect consumers should be a good thing, but too often it resembles a script from a sitcom. Or so it seemed, when I tried to close an account I’d opened with Kaupthing, before it was rescued by ING.

HTTP is “broken” with critical DDOS flaw, say researchers
Researchers from Proactive Risk, an IT security firm, will demonstrate at an upcoming application security conference a systemic flaw in the HTTP protocol that can easily be exploited through online gaming and other activities into distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks that can flood web servers — even through secure connections — with very slow “POST” traffic that is difficult to …

Adobe recognizes a critical flaw in Flash, and Acrobat Reader
While the security patch from Microsoft this June promises to be plump, this time it’s Adobe that explains the victim of a critical flaw. The three products from Flash and Acrobat Reader are affected in their versions of Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris.
The editor has provided a bulletin to explain that the fault was already exploited and was already present in several versions of Flash (10.0.45.2 and earlier) but also of Acrobat Reader 9. However, Flash 10.1 and Acrobat 8 are not affected.
The flaw would be able to conduct a DoS attack (denial of service) to take remote control of a position. However, there is a parade on Flash Player. It is possible to install the latest version 10.1, which is in its version RC7 (close to the final version), which is not affected by this vulnerability.
A closer look of the vulnerability affecting Adobe Acrobat Reader and Windows environments but also Macintosh and UNIX systems, or vulnerability comes from the critical authplay.dll file. However, no patch is yet scheduled for this day.

Re: Adobe recognizes a critical flaw in Flash, and Acrobat Reader
At the same time as it says in the news, the latest versions are not affected, so it’s going anyway, it’s not like it is the thing that would drag on X versions. Macintosh is a simple desktop operating system, and worth, combined with Apple computers in prodigious amounts for performance equally. This is not the first critical vulnerability in a-crap.
