Source Adobe Fixes Critical Shockwave Vulnerability

Adobe has issues a security patch for their Adobe Shockwave software program that fixes on vulnerability that has been rated critical. The vulnerability gives attackers, who can attack systems remotely, control over affected computer systems. The interesting aspect of the issued patch is that Adobe recommends to completely uninstall Adobe Shockwave 11.5.0.596 or earlier on their computer systems before installing the latest version of the software product in which the security vulnerability has been fixed.
To secure a computer system running Adobe Shockwave a user would therefor have to uninstall Adobe Shockwave, perform a system restart and install the latest version of Shockwave after the reboot.
