Adobe Flash Player before 11.7.700.269 and 11.8.x through 12.0.x before 12.0.0.70 on Windows and Mac OS X and before 11.2.202.341 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 4.0.0.1628 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 4.0.0.1628, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 4.0.0.1628 do not prevent access to address information, which makes it easier for attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via unspecified vectors.

Versions of Adobe Flash player prior to 11.7.700.275 / 13.0.0.182 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - A stack overflow vulnerability exists that could result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0498)
  - A memory leak vulnerability exists that could be used to aid in buffer overflow attacks by bypassing address space layout randomization (ASLR). (CVE-2014-0499)
  - A double free vulnerability exists that could result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0502)

Adobe Flash Player was updated to 11.2.202.341: (bnc#865021)

  - APSB14-07, CVE-2014-0498 CVE-2014-0499 CVE-2014-0502

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201405-04 (Adobe Flash Player: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple 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. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to bypass the Same       Origin Policy or read the clipboard via unspecified vectors.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update of Adobe Flash Player fixes the following issues :

  - A stack overflow vulnerability that could have resulted     in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0498)

  - A memory leak vulnerability that could have been used to     defeat memory address layout randomization.
    (CVE-2014-0499)

  - A double free vulnerability that could have resulted in     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0502)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2014:0196 advisory.

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

    This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These     vulnerabilities are detailed in the Adobe Security bulletin APSB14-07,     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-2014-0498,     CVE-2014-0499, CVE-2014-0502)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.341.

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 KB2929825.  It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A stack overflow vulnerability exists that could result     in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0498)

  - A memory leak vulnerability exists that could be used     to aid in buffer overflow attacks by bypassing address     space layout randomization (ASLR). (CVE-2014-0499)

  - A double free vulnerability exists that could result in     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0502)

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is equal or prior to 11.7.700.261 / 11.8.x / 11.9.x / 12.0.0.44.  It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A stack overflow vulnerability exists that could result     in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0498)

  - A memory leak vulnerability exists that could be used     to aid in buffer overflow attacks by bypassing address     space layout randomization (ASLR). (CVE-2014-0499)

  - A double free vulnerability exists that could result in     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0502)

According to its version, the instance of Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is equal or prior to 11.7.700.261 / 11.8.x / 11.9.x / 12.0.0.70.  It is, therefore, potentially affected multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A stack overflow vulnerability exists that could result     in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0498)

  - A memory leak vulnerability exists that could be used     to aid in buffer overflow attacks by bypassing address     space layout randomization (ASLR). (CVE-2014-0499)

  - A double free vulnerability exists that could result in     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0502)
