About dang time. From the article:
"Flash is a really a fantastic example of what happens when you have legacy code within an app that's been around a long time," said Cody Pierce, director of vulnerability research and prevention at Endgame. "Flash provides a rich development experience for users, yet suffers because it's trying to be a rich platform. Anytime you do that and have to support legacy file formats, you end up in a situation where attackers have a nearly unlimited attack surface—video, audio, images, different protocols and a really rich scripting language in ActionScript. It's ripe for exploitation and vulnerability discovery."
