If you are unaware of this recently published Adobe Flash Player exploit, you need to update your version of the player in all browsers on all operating systems now. Here is Adobe's support bulletin, which includes instructions on how. This is not just a Windows exploit, or an Internet Explorer exploit; it exists in all versions of Flashplayer and allows execution of arbitrary code. So far, only demonstration code is known to exist, so you have a window of opportunity to get your systems patched before Russian mobsters are p0wning your box.

If you don't know whether you have Flash player installed, you almost certainly do. If you've ever been to Homestar Runner to read Strongbad Email, for example, and seen anything at all, you have Flash player.
