TITLE

Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.252 and 14.x and 15.x before 15.0.0.223 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.418 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 15.0.0.356, Adobe AIR SDK before 15.0.0.356, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 15.0.0.356 allow attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-0576, CVE-2014-0581, and CVE-2014-8441. This vulnerability CVE-2014-0576 , CVE-2014-0581 ,and CVE-2014-8441 Is a different vulnerability.An attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service ( Memory corruption ) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Attackers can exploit this issue 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. Security flaws exist in several Adobe products. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Critical: flash-plugin security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2014:1852-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Supplementary Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1852.html Issue date: 2014-11-13 CVE Names: CVE-2014-0573 CVE-2014-0574 CVE-2014-0576 CVE-2014-0577 CVE-2014-0581 CVE-2014-0582 CVE-2014-0584 CVE-2014-0585 CVE-2014-0586 CVE-2014-0588 CVE-2014-0589 CVE-2014-0590 CVE-2014-8437 CVE-2014-8438 CVE-2014-8440 CVE-2014-8441 ===================================================================== 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 HPC Node Supplementary (v. 6) - 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 APSB14-24, 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-2014-0573, CVE-2014-0574, CVE-2014-0576, CVE-2014-0577, CVE-2014-0581, CVE-2014-0582, CVE-2014-0584, CVE-2014-0585, CVE-2014-0586, CVE-2014-0588, CVE-2014-0589, CVE-2014-0590, CVE-2014-8438, CVE-2014-8440, CVE-2014-8441) This update also fixes an information disclosure flaw in flash-plugin that could allow a remote attacker to obtain a victim's session cookie. 4.
