IBM researcher Mark Dowd has outlined a Flash vulnerability that could allow for a rare cross-platform web-based exploit. Matasano Chargen uses a Super Mario metaphor, an example we can all relate to, to illuminate it.

That exploit is just amazing. At the same time, it is scary to think that a hole similar to step 1 is probably present in many other pieces of software.
On the surface, easy exploits have disappeared from most software or have been disabled by the OS.
Actually, though, hackers are still a step ahead and already planning for their next move.
As long as hackers stay away from open source players, I am safe, I guess.
