Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.10 on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, and before 10.3.186.7 on Android, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL, related to a "universal cross-site scripting issue," as exploited in the wild in September 2011.

This update resolves a universal cross-site scripting issue that could be used to take actions on a user's behalf on any website or webmail provider if the user visits a malicious website (CVE-2011-2444).

Note: There are reports that this issue is being exploited in the wild in active targeted attacks designed to trick the user into clicking on a malicious link delivered in an email message.

This update resolves an AVM stack overflow issue that may allow for remote code execution. (CVE-2011-2426).

Versions of Google Chrome earlier than 14.0.835.186 contain a vulnerable version of Adobe Flash Player that is affected by the following vulnerabilities : 

  - An unspecified, critical error for which no further details are available at this time.

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 14.0.835.186.  Such versions of Chrome contain a vulnerable version of Adobe Flash Player that is affected by the following vulnerabilities:
