This update resolves an integer underflow vulnerability that could have been exploited to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.
(CVE-2014-0497)

More information:
http://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-04.html

Versions of Adobe Flash Player equal or prior to 12.0.0.43 are outdated and thus unpatched for a remote code execution vulnerability, though no further details have been released by the vendor (CVE-2014-0491).

Exploits against this vulnerability are known to be used in the wild.

The remote host has Google Chrome browser installed. The previous version of Google Chrome (that is, prior to 32.0.1700.107) contain a plugin for Flash Player 12.0.0.41, which is vulnerable to remote code execution. Chrome 32.0.1700.107 has been released with an updated version of Flash, which patches this vulnerability.

Versions of Flash earlier than 11.7.700.260 / 12.0.0.43 are vulnerable to remote code execution, though no further details have been released by the vendor. (CVE-2014-0491)

Exploits against this vulnerability are known to be used in the wild.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201402-06 (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 a specially crafted SWF       file using Adobe Flash Player, possibly resulting in execution of       arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service       condition.
  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 a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0137 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 in the Adobe Security bulletin APSB14-04,     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-2014-0497)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.336.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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 is missing KB2929825.  It is, therefore, affected by an unspecified vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution related to the installed version of the Adobe Flash ActiveX control.

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is equal or prior to 11.7.700.260 / 11.8.x / 11.9.x / 12.0.0.43.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by an unspecified vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution.

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is equal or prior to 11.7.700.260 / 11.8.x / 11.9.x / 12.0.0.43.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by an unspecified vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution.
