Re: Adobe's code signing certificate has been stolen

said by mazhurg:

That would be the code used to sign the flash player install V 11.4.400.252 (Windows 7 64 bits)

Thanks for the info.

Adobe may have signed later versions of Flash with a newer certificate since the one you posted expires on 12/14/2012.

Wouldn't the serial number be different on a renewed certificate ? With the software I'm using every certificate (regardless whether new or renewal) gets a unique serial number from the CA but I don't know if that is universal for all certificate authorities.

Flash Player 11.4.402.278 certificate

Um, it is.

FYI the Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.278 installers I have are signed with a certificate with the serial number ‎7e 28 2b 07 49 66 9b 59 5f 79 49 ff 06 13 4e 92.

And I said new (not renewed).

PS: Flash Player 11.4.402.278 was signed with a certificate that expires 10/1/2012. LOL. Clearly they aren't expecting that version to last long!

Also...

It is not public key stuff so the serial number would be the same for everyone who used the product in the time frame the cert was still valid and came with the download...just don't want people to start thinking every user would be getting a unique serial number for their own benefit.

It is a Web Server SSL Certificate

A Web Server SSL Certificate contains the following information:
The certificate holder's name,
The certificate's serial number and expiration date,
Copy of the certificate holder's public key,
The digital signature of the certificate-issuing authority.

Yup.

In short if you download something that is digitally-signed with this certificate consider it suspect.

And that goes for Flash too
