ANN : New Flash Player : 6.0.47.0

We have released a new Flash Player, version 6.0.47.0. This fixes a few issues mentioned in the:

• Flash 6 Player Release Notes

but more importantly, addresses a number of security issues described in the following security bulletins.

• MPSB02-09 - Macromedia Flash Malformed Header Vulnerability Issue
• MPSB02-10 - Macromedia Flash URL Modification Issue

This Flash Player will no longer follow redirects. This will break some existing Flash content that loads data from a third domain through a server side redirect. However, there is a simple server side solution, which is describe in this technote:

• Loading Data Across Domains

You can download the new player here.

Note, I will be hanging out in the chat today to answer any questions.

Update, we will be releasing updated standalone, authoring and debug players in the next couple of days.
