Hackers are embedding malicious Flash Player files in Microsoft Word documents to launch targeted attacks against select businesses, according to a warning from Adobe.
This latest Flash Player zero-day attack comes just weeks after EMC’s RSA Division was hit with a malware attack that used a rigged Flash (.swf) file embedded in a Microsoft Excel document.
This module exploits a vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player that was discovered, and

has been exploited actively in the wild. By embedding a specially crafted .swf file,
25
Adobe Flash crashes due to an invalid use of an object type, which allows attackers to

overwrite a pointer in memory, and results arbitrary code execution
