Adobe Flash Vulnerabilities Affect Flash Player and Adobe AIR
Original release date:
Last revised: --
Source: US-CERT
Systems Affected
* Adobe Flash Player 10.0.32.18 and earlier versions
* Adobe AIR 1.5.2 and earlier versions
Overview
Adobe has released Security Bulletin APSB09-19, which describes
vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR.
I. Description
Adobe Security Bulletin APSB09-19 describes vulnerabilities
affecting Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR. Flash Player version
10.0.32.18 and earlier versions as well as Adobe AIR versions 1.5.2
and earlier are affected.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a user
to visit a website that hosts a specially crafted SWF file. The
Adobe Flash browser plugin is available for multiple web browsers
and operating systems, any of which could be affected.
II. Impact
This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
code as the result of a user viewing a web page.
III. Solution
Users are encouraged to update Flash Player 10.0.32.18 and earlier
versions as well as Adobe AIR 1.5.2 and earlier versions to the
latest version.
These vulnerabilities can be mitigated by disabling the Flash
plugin or by using the NoScript extension for Mozilla Firefox or
SeaMonkey to whitelist websites that can access the Flash plugin.
For more information about securely configuring web browsers,
please see the Securing Your Web Browser document.
