Adobe Flash Player before 10.0.42.34 and Adobe AIR before 1.5.3 might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, related to a "data injection vulnerability."

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes multiple security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Extras 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 Mozilla Firefox compatible Adobe Flash Player web browser plug-in.

Multiple security flaws were found in the way Flash Player 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, possibly, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the specially crafted SWF content. (CVE-2009-3794, CVE-2009-3796, CVE-2009-3798, CVE-2009-3799, CVE-2009-3800)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 9.0.260.0.

Specially crafted Flash (SWF) files can cause overflows in flash-player. Attackers could potentially exploit that to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-3794 / CVE-2009-3796 / CVE-2009-3797 / CVE-2009-3798 / CVE-2009-3799 / CVE-2009-3800 / CVE-2009-3951)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201001-02 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash Player:
    An anonymous researcher working with the Zero Day     Initiative reported that Adobe Flash Player does not properly process     JPEG files (CVE-2009-3794).
    Jim Cheng of EffectiveUI reported     an unspecified data injection vulnerability (CVE-2009-3796).
    Bing Liu of Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs reported multiple     unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-3797,     CVE-2009-3798).
    Damian Put reported an integer overflow in the     Verifier::parseExceptionHandlers() function (CVE-2009-3799).
    Will Dormann of CERT reported multiple unspecified Denial of     Service vulnerabilities (CVE-2009-3800).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted SWF     file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with     the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of     Service via unknown vectors.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.5 that does not have Security Update 2010-001 applied.

This security update contains fixes for the following products :

  - CoreAudio
  - CUPS
  - Flash Player plug-in
  - ImageIO
  - Image RAW
  - OpenSSL

Specially crafted Flash (SWF) files can cause overflows in flash-player. Attackers could potentially exploit that to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2009-3794, CVE-2009-3796, CVE-2009-3797, CVE-2009-3798,CVE-2009-3799, CVE-2009-3800, CVE-2009-3951)

flash-player was upgraded to version 10 to fix those problems.
