Shockwave Buffer Overflow -- 9:56 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

According to this article, there is a bug in every version of Macromedia's Shockwave Flash plugin for every operating system that would allow for a buffer overflow and for arbitrary code to be run on the user's computer. The author reports that he has informed Macromedia about this bug several times, but they have not fixed it. Is it time to disable Flash? Thanks Slashdot.
