TITLE

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.257 and 11.8.x and 11.9.x before 11.9.900.170 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.332 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 3.9.0.1380, Adobe AIR SDK before 3.9.0.1380, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 3.9.0.1380 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted .swf content that leverages an unspecified "type confusion," as exploited in the wild in December 2013. Attacks on this vulnerability 2013 Year 12 Observed on the moon.Unspecified by a third party " Mixing of molds (type confusion)" Cleverly crafted to take advantage of .swf Arbitrary code may be executed through content. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime environment that can be used to build and configure cross-platform desktop RIA (Rich Internet Applications) applications. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: flash-plugin security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:1818-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Supplementary Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1818.html Issue date: 2013-12-11 CVE Names: CVE-2013-5331 CVE-2013-5332 ===================================================================== 1.
