Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 11.3.300.271 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.238 on Linux allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted SWF content, as exploited in the wild in August 2012 with SWF content in a Word document.

Adobe Flash Player was updated to 11.2.202.238 fixing various bugs and security issues.

The version of HP Systems Insight Manager installed on the remote Windows host is affected by vulnerabilities in the included Flash components.

This update of flash-player fixes a security issue that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely. (CVE-2012-1535)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1203 advisory.

  - flash-plugin: code execution flaw (APSB12-18) (CVE-2012-1535)

  - flash-plugin: multiple code execution flaws (APSB12-19) (CVE-2012-4163, CVE-2012-4164, CVE-2012-4165,     CVE-2012-4166, CVE-2012-4167)

  - flash-plugin: cross-domain information leak flaw (APSB12-19) (CVE-2012-4168)

  - flash-plugin: arbitrary code exec via integer overflow in copyRawDataTo method in Matrix3D class     (CVE-2012-5054)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is missing KB2755399.  It may, therefore, be affected by the following vulnerabilities related to the installed version of the Adobe Flash ActiveX control :

  -  An unspecified remote code execution error exists.
    (CVE-2012-1535)

  - Multiple memory corruption errors exist that     could lead to code execution. (CVE-2012-4163,     CVE-2012-4164, CVE-2012-4165)

  - An integer overflow error exists that could     lead to code execution. (CVE-2012-4167)

  - A cross-domain information leak error exists.
    (CVE-2012-4168)

  - An integer overflow error related to the 'Matrix3D'     class exists. (CVE-2012-5054)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-01 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe Flash       Player. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open specially crafted SWF       content, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore,       a remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1173 advisory.

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

    This update fixes one vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player. This     vulnerability is detailed on the Adobe security page APSB12-18, listed     in the References section. Specially-crafted SWF content could cause     flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when a victim     loads a page containing the malicious SWF content. (CVE-2012-1535)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.238.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 11.x equal to or earlier than 11.3.300.270.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by an unspecified remote code execution vulnerability.

Also note the vendor states 10.x versions are not affected by this vulnerability and the branch was not updated.

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is 11.x equal to or earlier than 11.3.300.270.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by an unspecified remote code execution vulnerability. 

Note that this vulnerability is reportedly being actively exploited in the wild.

Also note the vendor states 10.x versions are not affected by this vulnerability and the branch was not updated.

Versions of Flash Player earlier than 11.3.300.270 is affected by an unspecified remoted code execution vulnerability :

  - Note that this vulnerability is reportedly being actively exploited in the wild. Also note the vendor states 10.x versions are not affected by this vulnerability and the branch was not updated.
