A critical vulnerability was found in version v9.0.159.0 and v10.0.22.87 of the Flash Player and the authplay.dll component that ships with Adobe Reader and Acrobat v9.x for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX operating systems.

By deleting, renaming, or removing access to the authplay.dll file, you will reduce the threat for Reader and Acrobat, but that tends to deliver a "non-exploitable crash or error message" when opening a PDF file that contains SWF content.

Adobe is hoping to provide an update for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux no later than July 30th.
