CNET is reporting that a new Yahoo! Messenger Exploit has been found. The story
(http://news.com.com/2100-1002_3-6144110.html?part=rss&tag=2547-1_3-0-5&subj=news) states that all
versions prior to November 2, 2006 are affected and by downloading the latest version (8.1) you will
be protected. The bug was apparently first reported to Secunia
(http://secunia.com/advisories/23401/). No details or exploit code has been published. No my

Ms Sec. Advisory: Flash Player 7 Vulnerability
- (1)
A vulnerability in Flash Player 7 has been identified by Macromedia. Microsoft urges users to apply
a critical update from Flash Player update from Macromedia. This vulnerability affects Flash
Player 7.0.19.0 and earlier. Flash Player (8.0.22.0) contains a fix for the vulnerability. If you
have Flash Player 7 installed, it is the time to upgrade to this new version. It is very
interesting. Microsoft is advising to upgrade an application that is not Microsoft's. But it is
nice to see just how much MS is becoming dedicated with security. And the developer can m...
