TITLE

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR In ASLR Vulnerabilities that circumvent protection mechanisms

DESCRIPTION

Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.269 and 11.8.x through 12.0.x before 12.0.0.70 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.341 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 4.0.0.1628 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 4.0.0.1628, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 4.0.0.1628 do not prevent access to address information, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via unspecified vectors. Attackers can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information. 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. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism. Background ========== The Adobe Flash Player is a renderer for the SWF file format, which is commonly used to provide interactive websites. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF file using Adobe Flash Player, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to bypass the Same Origin Policy or read the clipboard via unspecified vectors. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Adobe Flash Player users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.356" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2014-0498 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0498 [ 2 ] CVE-2014-0499 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0499 [ 3 ] CVE-2014-0502 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0502 [ 4 ] CVE-2014-0503 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0503 [ 5 ] CVE-2014-0504 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0504 [ 6 ] CVE-2014-0506 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0506 [ 7 ] CVE-2014-0507 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0507 [ 8 ] CVE-2014-0508 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0508 [ 9 ] CVE-2014-0509 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0509 [ 10 ] CVE-2014-0515 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0515 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201405-04.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
