DESCRIPTION

Race condition in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.366 and 19.x through 22.x before 22.0.0.209 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.632 on Linux allows attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors. Attackers can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that may aid in further attacks. The product enables viewing of applications, content and video across screens and browsers. 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, obtain sensitive information, 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-11.2.202.632" References ========== [ 1 ]
