TITLE

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

DESCRIPTION

Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.244 and 14.x and 15.x before 15.0.0.152 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.406 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 15.0.0.249 on Windows and OS X and before 15.0.0.252 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 15.0.0.249, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 15.0.0.249 do not properly restrict discovery of memory addresses, which allows attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via unspecified vectors. Adobe Flash Player and AIR are prone to multiple unspecified memory-corruption vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected applications. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism and take control of the affected system. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: flash-plugin security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1173-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Supplementary Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1173.html Issue date: 2014-09-10 CVE Names: CVE-2014-0547 CVE-2014-0548 CVE-2014-0549 CVE-2014-0550 CVE-2014-0551 CVE-2014-0552 CVE-2014-0553 CVE-2014-0554 CVE-2014-0555 CVE-2014-0556 CVE-2014-0557 CVE-2014-0559 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes multiple security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 5) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Supplementary (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: The flash-plugin package contains a Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in. These vulnerabilities are detailed in the Adobe Security Bulletin APSB14-21, listed in the References section. Multiple flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed certain SWF content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content. (CVE-2014-0547, CVE-2014-0549, CVE-2014-0550, CVE-2014-0551, CVE-2014-0552, CVE-2014-0553, CVE-2014-0554, CVE-2014-0555, CVE-2014-0556, CVE-2014-0557, CVE-2014-0559) A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to bypass the same-origin policy. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network.
