The latest update for Adobe Flash fixes a handful of security flaws. However, this update also changes how the cross-domain socket policy is enforced. The result is that many Flash applications (such the BreakingPoint BPS 1K and BreakingPoint BPS 10K user interface) will no longer be able to connect to a socket on the originating host. The BreakingPoint Labs team is hard at work on a fix for the UI, but until the 1.2 release containing the fix is available, we are urging our customers to hold off on the Flash upgrade on at least one system. If you have already upgraded to the latest version of Flash and need to downgrade, please see the Archived Flash Players page on Adobe's web site. Our support staff are available to assist customers with this process (1-866-352-6691 prompt 4).
