The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-06 (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 bypass access restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1346 advisory.

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

    This update fixes several vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These     vulnerabilities are detailed on the Adobe security page APSB12-22, 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-2012-5248,     CVE-2012-5249, CVE-2012-5250, CVE-2012-5251, CVE-2012-5252, CVE-2012-5253,     CVE-2012-5254, CVE-2012-5255, CVE-2012-5256, CVE-2012-5257, CVE-2012-5258,     CVE-2012-5259, CVE-2012-5260, CVE-2012-5261, CVE-2012-5262, CVE-2012-5263,     CVE-2012-5264, CVE-2012-5265, CVE-2012-5266, CVE-2012-5267, CVE-2012-5268,     CVE-2012-5269, CVE-2012-5270, CVE-2012-5271, CVE-2012-5272)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.243.

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.

The remote host is missing KB2758994.  It may, therefore, be affected by the following vulnerabilities related to the installed version of the Adobe Flash ActiveX control :

  - Multiple memory corruption errors exist that     could lead to code execution.
