Re: Security Risks from unpatched media players...Are you at Risk?
Quote:

These applications are media players, browser plug-ins that play media files, or a browser itself (i.e., Firefox). All of these programs can be attacked across the Internet for example, if you play an infected Flash video you find on a Web site or that you received via e-mail. Consequently, using an older version of these program poses a real security risk. (i.e., Firefox).
