The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:0574 advisory.

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

    This update fixes two vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These     vulnerabilities are detailed in the Adobe Security bulletin APSB13-08,     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-2013-0504,     CVE-2013-0648)

    This update also fixes a permissions issue with the Adobe Flash Player     Firefox sandbox. (CVE-2013-0643)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.273.

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.

Adobe reports :

These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

The remote host has Adobe Flash Player installed. 

Versions of Flash Player 11.x equal to or earlier than 11.6.602.168, or 10.x equal to or earlier than 10.3.183.63 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A buffer overflow error exists related to the 'broker service'. (CVE-2013-0504)

  - A permissions issue exists related to the Firefox sandbox. (CVE-2013-0643)

  - An unspecified error exists related to 'ExternalInterface ActionScript' feature. (CVE-2013-0648)

The remote host is missing KB2819372.  It may, therefore, be affected by the following vulnerabilities related to the installed version of the Adobe Flash ActiveX control :

  - An unspecified error exists related to     'ExternalInterface ActionScript' feature.
    (CVE-2013-0648)

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is 11.x equal or prior to 11.6.602.167, or 10.x equal or prior to 10.3.183.61.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A buffer overflow error exists related to the 'broker     service'. (CVE-2013-0504)

  - A permissions issue exists related to the Firefox     sandbox. (CVE-2013-0643)

  - An unspecified error exists related to     'ExternalInterface ActionScript' feature.
    (CVE-2013-0648)

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is 11.x equal or prior to 11.6.602.168, or 10.x equal or prior to 10.3.183.63.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A buffer overflow error exists related to the 'broker     service'. (CVE-2013-0504)

  - A permissions issue exists related to the Firefox     sandbox. (CVE-2013-0643)
