Adobe Shockwave Vulnerabilities Patched

Adobe announced and released a security update yesterday that involved its Shockwave player versions 11.5.0.596 and earlier. The vulnerability could potentially allow an attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability to take control of the affected system.
Shockwave is used as a media player to deliver Adobe content much like Flash but with much more control. A user must open a corrupted Shockwave file in order to initiate the exploit.
As this vulnerability is listed as "critical", Adobe recommends patching immediately, as do I. Go here to get the goods.
