Heap-based buffer overflow in Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and bypass a sandbox protection mechanism via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated by Zeguang Zhao and Liang Chen during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2014.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-08 (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 possibly execute       arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of       Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Adobe reports :

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

Versions of Adobe AIR earlier than 13.0.0.111 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling display objects. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0510)
 - An unspecified vulnerability exists that could be used to bypass the same origin policy. (CVE-2014-0516)
 - Multiple, unspecified security bypass vulnerabilities exist. (CVE-2014-0517, CVE-2014-0518, CVE-2014-0519, CVE-2014-0520)

Versions of Adobe Flash player prior to 13.0.0.214 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - An overflow condition exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling display objects. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0510)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that could be used to bypass the same origin policy. (CVE-2014-0516)

  - Multiple, unspecified security bypass vulnerabilities exist. (CVE-2014-0517, CVE-2014-0518, CVE-2014-0519, CVE-2014-0520)

Adobe flash-player was updated to version 11.2.202.359 to resolve several security issues :

  - Remote attackers could execute arbitrary code and bypass     a sandbox protection mechanism via unspecified vectors.
    (CVE-2014-0510)

  - Remote attackers could bypass the Same Origin Policy via     unspecified vectors. (CVE-2014-0516)

  - Bypass intended access restrictions via unspecified     vectors. (CVE-2014-0517 / CVE-2014-0518 / CVE-2014-0519     / CVE-2014-0520) More information can be found at     http://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/ap     sb14-14.html .

An updated Adobe Flash Player package that fixes multiple security issues is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

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 APSB14-14, listed in the References section.

Multiple flaws were found in the way flash-plugin displayed certain SWF content. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content. (CVE-2014-0510, CVE-2014-0517, CVE-2014-0518, CVE-2014-0519, CVE-2014-0520)

A flaw in flash-plugin could allow an attacker to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2014-0516)

All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.359.

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 34.0.1847.137. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists in the included Flash     version that could lead to arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2014-0510)

  - An unspecified error exists in the included Flash     version that could allow a bypass of the same origin     policy. (CVE-2014-0516)

  - Several security bypass errors exist in the included     Flash version. (CVE-2014-0517, CVE-2014-0518,     CVE-2014-0519, CVE-2014-0520)

  - Use-after-free errors exist related to 'WebSockets'     and 'editing'. (CVE-2014-1740, CVE-2014-1742)

  - An integer overflow error exists related to DOM     ranges. (CVE-2014-1741)

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