Ladies and gentlemen, rev up your Flash Player update engines.

Adobe has shipped a new version of the ubiquitous software to fix at least seven documented security holes affecting Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris users.

According to Adobe, these vulnerabilities could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

It also patches a universal cross-site scripting vulnerability that could be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any website or webmail provider, if the user visits a malicious website.

Adobe has acknowledged reports that the cross-site scripting flaw "is being exploited in the wild in active targeted attacks designed to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link delivered in an e-mail message (Internet Explorer on Windows only).
