Adobe Flash Player before 13.0.0.260 and 14.x through 16.x before 16.0.0.257 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.429 on Linux, Adobe AIR before 16.0.0.245 on Windows and OS X and before 16.0.0.272 on Android, Adobe AIR SDK before 16.0.0.272, and Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler before 16.0.0.272 do not properly validate files, which has unspecified impact and attack vectors.

Versions of Adobe Flash player equal or prior to 16.0.0.235 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - An unspecified improper file validation issue. (CVE-2015-0301)

  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability, which can be exploited to capture keystrokes. (CVE-2015-0302)

  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0303, CVE-2015-0306)

   - Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0304, CVE-2015-0309)

  - An unspecified type confusion vulnerability that can lead to code execution. (CVE-2015-0305)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability that can be exploited to leak memory addresses. (CVE-2015-0307)

   - A use-after-free vulnerability that results in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0308)

Versions of Adobe Flash player equal or prior to 16.0.0.305 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist due to improper input validation. A remote attacker could exploit these to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0332, CVE-2015-0333, CVE-2015-0335, CVE-2015-0339).
  - Multiple type confusion flaws exist, which an attacker could exploit to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0334, CVE-2015-0336).
  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass cross-domain policy (CVE-2015-0337).
  - An integer overflow vulnerability exists due to improper input validation, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0338).
  - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass restrictions and upload arbitrary files (CVE-2015-0340).
  - Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities exist that can allow an attacker to dereference memory which has already been freed and execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0341, CVE-2015-0342).
  - An unspecified improper file validation issue (CVE-2015-0301).
  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability, which can be exploited to capture keystrokes (CVE-2015-0302).
  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0303, CVE-2015-0306).
   - Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0304, CVE-2015-0309).

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability that can be exploited to leak memory addresses (CVE-2015-0307).
   - A use-after-free vulnerability that results in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0308).
  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a flaw that can allow bypassing of memory randomization mitigations, aiding in further attacks (CVE-2015-0310).
  - A use-after-free error exists that allows an attacker to crash the application or execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0311).
  - A double-free error exists that allows an attacker to crash the application or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2015-0312).
  - Several use-after-free errors exist that allow arbitrary code execution (CVE-2015-0313, CVE-2015-0315, CVE-2015-0320, CVE-2015-0322).

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 / 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:0052 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 APSB15-01,     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-2015-0303, CVE-2015-0306, CVE-2015-0304, CVE-2015-0309,     CVE-2015-0305, CVE-2015-0308)

    This update also fixes multiple information disclosure flaws in     flash-plugin. (CVE-2015-0301, CVE-2015-0302, CVE-2015-0307)

    All users of Adobe Flash Player should install this updated package, which     upgrades Flash Player to version 11.2.202.429.

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.
