Default critical bug(s) in Macromedia Flash

Anybody installed these security updates for Flash Player yet?

I looked on download.com and they have 8.0.22 (has bug) for IE and 8.0.24 (bug fixed) for FF, etc.

I wonder if Adobe has 8.0.24 for IE yet?

Does one have to install same level patch 8.0.24 separately for IE and FF (I have both)?

Flash is not a MS product so Windowsupdate does not warn about this

PITA

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-020
Vulnerabilities in Macromedia Flash Player from Adobe Could Allow Remote Code Execution (913433) Published: May 9, 2006 Version: 1.0

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS06-020.mspx

"Flash Player is available for download from Adobe Systems, Inc. (formerly Macromedia, Inc). Flash Player also may have been installed or required by another software application. You can determine whether you have Flash Player installed and if so what version by visiting the following Adobe Web site. If you have a version of Flash Player earlier than 7.0.63.0 or 8.0.24.0 you have a version that may be affected by the reported vulnerabilities."

-----------------------------------

FWIW, some info from my Windows registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MozillaPlugins\@macrom edia.com/FlashPlayer8]
"Path"="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\Macromed\\Flash\\NPSW F32.dll"
"XPTPath"="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\Macromed\\Flash\\f lashplayer.xpt"
"ProductName"="Macromedia Flash Player"
"Vendor"="Macromedia"
"Description"="Macromedia Flash Player 8.0"
"Version"="8.0.22.0"

P.S.

Couldn't get to macromedia or adobe sites for some reason.

Right clicking on Flash animation (v.8) in FF would NOT give detailed ver. info, probably since macromedia.com was down ? What a PITA, can't even find out what version is running without dumping the registry or going to website

Seems there's a util to enable/disable Flash, getting tempted to install it.
