Yes, but the swfdec project fixes bugs as soon as possible:
http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/wiki/
"2008-04-09
Our first security fix release: Swfdec 0.6.4. Please update."
"Fixes in this release:
- fix a security problem that allowed remote Flash files to read local files.
- fix a rare crash in TextField.replaceText
- fix a rare crash during cleanup."
Very interesting.
