Adobe Flash Player 9.x before 9.0.159.0 and 10.x before 10.0.22.87 on Windows allows remote attackers to trick a user into visiting an arbitrary URL via an unspecified manipulation of the "mouse pointer display," related to a "Clickjacking attack."

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes several security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 Extras.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The flash-plugin package contains a Firefox-compatible Adobe Flash Player Web browser plug-in.

Multiple input validation flaws were found in the way Flash Player displayed certain SWF (Shockwave Flash) content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted SWF file that could cause flash-plugin to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the specially crafted SWF content.
(CVE-2009-0520, CVE-2009-0519)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 9.0.159.0.

The remote Windows host contains a version of Adobe Flash Player that is earlier than 9.0.159.0 / 10.0.22.87. Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities : 

  - A buffer overflow issue that could allow an attacker     to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the     user running the application. (CVE-2009-0520) 

  - An input validation vulnerability that leads to a denial     of service attack and could possibly allow for an attacker     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-0519) 

  - A vulnerability in the Flash Player settings manager that     could contribute to a clickjacking attack. (CVE-2009-0014) 

  - A vulnerability with the mouse pointer display that could     contribute to a clickjacking attack. (CVE-2009-0522)
