Exploit in Wii Flash Player

***wraggster*** · July 14th, 2007, 21:14

A security bulletin released 4 days ago by Adobe, tells us that the Flash Player used by the Internet Channel can be exploited to execute arbitrary code because of an input validation error in flash. This might be a opening for hackers to create some kind of homebrew launcher, and Nintendo has to pay to get a unaffected version of the Flash player from Adobe. This means that this security hole might not be patched as fast as the last one. Official bullentin

I'd much rather get an update so I know that someone won't be an ass and brick my Wii opposed to an ugly hack (that could be easily patched in the future) for some sparse homebrew.

We simply need a more reliable way to run unsigned code than some flash hole.

You've got a point there. This is the first good opportunity, but still I'm waiting for an SD hack to start getting into Wii homebrew
