TITLE

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Use-after-free vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.241 and 14.x before 14.0.0.176 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.400 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 14.0.0.178 on Windows and OS X and before 14.0.0.179 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 14.0.0.178, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 14.0.0.178 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. Adobe Flash Player and AIR are prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in several Adobe products. 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 possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition or bypass security restrictions. 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-11.2.202.400" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2014-0538 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0538 [ 2 ] CVE-2014-0540 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0540 [ 3 ] CVE-2014-0541 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0541 [ 4 ] CVE-2014-0542 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0542 [ 5 ] CVE-2014-0543 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0543 [ 6 ] CVE-2014-0544 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0544 [ 7 ] CVE-2014-0545 http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0545 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-201408-05.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.
