Today's Adobe Patches and Vulnerablities
It is not easy to keep up with Adobe these days. Patches and new exploits are almost released on a daily schedule. So here is the current "State of Adobe" the way I see it:
| Product | Latest Version | Latest Vulnerabilities |
|---|---|---|
| PDF Reader | 9.4.0 |
version 9.4.0 (latest version) is vulnerable |
| Flash Player | 10.1.102.64 | version 10.1.85.3 is vulnerable. Patch released today (Nov. 4th) "Authplay Vulnerability" CVE-2010-3654 |
| Shockwave Player | 11.5.9.615 | 11.5.9.615 (latest version) is vulnerable Shockwave Settings" Use-After-Free Vulnerability) Secunia# SA42112, no CVE Number assigned yet |
| Acrobat | 9.4.0 | version 9.4.0 (latest version) is vulnerable "Authplay Vulnerability" CVE-2010-3654
|
| Air | 2.5 | version 2.0.3 is vulnerable (old version) |
Please let me know if you have corrections, or better if you find a simple overview about "the state of Adobe bugs" on Adobe's own site. Any Adobe people out there: Feel free to copy the concept :). This table will be "frozen" to today's state and we may update similar, updated tables in the future as a new article.

I'd encourage Adobe to focus less on pushing partnered content (web browser toolbars or a/v products) with the Adobe product downloads, and instead create a support page that serves the exact purpose as what Johannes has created here.
Also, links to such things as the tests to confirm installation of Flash/Shockwave/Air could be included there, too. Extra points would be awarded if the tests would accurately identify installed version numbers.
In the meantime, thanks again!

I can't imagine why Adobe hasn't made these pages consistently useful...

Additionally, it states that Adobe Acrobat is not affected.

At the present it still says Flash Player 10.1.85.3 is CURRENT but I hope this is updated shortly.
It finds the "Microsoft Office 2010" plugin, but does not know what it is.

Maybe another column titled "Update Available" stating "Yes", "ETA dd.Mmm.yy" or "No" would make the table easier to read / script.. :)
I wish we could all agree on one location and format for this table, for all operating systems and applications. That way software authors and users would only need to update / check once.. Utopia!

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 reads as version 10.1 (r102) - at least for the Windows version of Flash Player.
