Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Vulnerability Exploited in Wild

Adobe has issued a security bulletin related to the authplay.dll component in Reader and Acrobat (On the Mac /applications/AdobeReader9/AdobeReader.app/Contents/Frameworks/AuthPlayLib.bundle/Contents/MacOS/AuthPlayLib) and Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2. This vulnerability has been exploited in the wild. Adobe has not issued an update or schedule as of now but Flash Player Candidate Release "Gala Preview2" does not appear to be vulnerable. 

Another Solution suggested is removing the AuthPlayLib, this will result in a crash if you open a PDF with Flash content. Users/Administrators should use Preview.app (In Seat-Belt) for PDF files from un-trusted sources.
