Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-416: Use-after-free ( Use of freed memory ) Has been identified. http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.htmlCrafted by attackers actionExtends Arbitrary code may be executed via the argument. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists within the actionExtends method. By manipulating the arguments passed to the actionExtends method, an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in several Adobe products. The following versions are affected: Adobe Flash Player Desktop Runtime 19.0.0.226 and earlier versions based on Windows and Macintosh platforms, Adobe Flash Player Extended Support Release 18.0.0.255 and earlier versions, AIR Desktop Runtime 19.0.0.213 and earlier versions; based on Windows, Macintosh , Adobe Flash Player for Google Chrome 19.0.0.226 and earlier versions on Linux and ChromeOS platforms, Adobe Flash Player for Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 19.0.0.226 and earlier versions based on Windows 10 platforms, Adobe Flash Player based on Windows 8.0 and 8.1 platforms For Internet Explorer 10 and 11 19.0.0.226 and earlier versions, Adobe Flash Player for Linux 11.2.202.540 and earlier versions based on Linux platforms, AIR SDK 19.0.0.213 and earlier versions and AIR SDK based on Windows, Macintosh, Android and iOS platforms & Compiler 19.0.0.
