Adobe Flash Player 10.x before 10.0.42.34 and Adobe AIR before 1.5.3 might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors that trigger memory corruption.

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes multiple security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Supplementary.

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-2009-3797, 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 10.0.42.34.

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.

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)

Adobe Product Security Incident Response Team reports :
