This article seems to confirm that Flash 4, 5, 6, and 7 have this very serious exploit issue.

The problem affects Windows big time!

With Flash being a media handler, Apple appears stuck at the version it has which Adobe has declared is seriously flawed and that now there is malicious code in the wild to exploit it.

Right - so it seems like the only way out is to upgrade QT Flash support to version 9 - and there are certainly issues around the amount of work involved, and maybe issues related to agreements between Apple and Adobe/Macromedia as to what version of Flash QT can play. Since flash isn't open, I don't think you can distribute software that plays flash files willy-nilly without some kind of agreement with Macromedia.
