9.0.124 fixed a very serious zero-day security vulnerability present in previous versions of Flash Player. Unfortunately 9.0.124 broke h.264/AAC streaming from Adobe servers using specific protocols.

Which would I rather not have, hmmm... h.264/AAC streaming from some servers to my mobile device, or device Pwnage? Yeah, the ability to stream a few videos that may not actually be playable is really worth having my device compromised.

Historically, it hasn't. That's the question... will it? Or won't it?

Only Nokia and Adobe can answer that... in 2010.

Would love to hear that. Doubt I'll get a confirmation.
See post from ragnar, you've got your confirmation.
