According to a company advisory, all current versions of Flash 9, 8 and 7 are affected by the problem, which relates to not validating certain input.
As a result, Adobe has released new versions of Flash for all platforms. 9.0.47.0 is the newest release for Windows and Mac, while 9.0.48.0 is available for Linux. 8.0.35.0 has also been released for Flash 8 users, in addition to a patch for users who cannot upgrade from Flash 7.

Not sure which version of Flash was on the system and didn't check. I just installed the new one and that covers the problem. Heaven knows it is hard enough to keep Homeland Security out of my system but is really hard to stop someone that knows what they are doing so why give them a gateway like the Flash problem. Thanks again...talker.
