Untrusted search path vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player before 18.0.0.343 and 19.x through 21.x before 21.0.0.213 on Windows and OS X and before 11.2.202.616 on Linux allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse resource in an unspecified directory.

Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 11.2.202.616, 18.0.0.343, or 21.0.0.213 are outdated and thus unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

 - A JIT Spraying Attack vulnerability exists that may allow a context-dependent attacker to disable the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) feature, potentially allowing them to more easily conduct more severe attacks. (CVE-2016-1006)
 - A use-after-free error exists, which may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1011)
 - An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1012)
 - An unspecified use-after-free error exists, which may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1013)
 - An unspecified flaw exists in the handling of directory search paths that may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain unauthorized access to potentially sensitive resources. (CVE-2016-1014)
 - A type confusion flaw exists that is triggered when handling AS2 NetConnection objects.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1015)
 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when setting a special callback on the 'flash.geom.Matrix object'.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1016)
 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered during 'LoadVars.decode' handling.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1017)
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered when handling JPEG-XR compressed image content.  The issue lies in the failure to properly check that an index is within the bounds of a buffer.  An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current process. (CVE-2016-1018)
 - A type confusion flaw exists in the ASnative API that may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.  Adobe states that this issue is being actively exploited against systems running Windows.  Current exploits only target version 20.0.0.306 and earlier due to a mitigation implemented in version 21.0.0.182 and later. (CVE-2016-1019)
 - A number of unspecified flaws exists that are triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated.  This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1020, CVE-2016-1021, CVE-2016-1022, CVE-2016-1023, CVE-2016-1024, CVE-2016-1025, CVE-2016-1026, CVE-2016-1027, CVE-2016-1028, CVE-2016-1029, CVE-2016-1032, CVE-2016-1033)
 - An unspecified flaw exists that may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass security features.  No further details have been provided by the vendor. (CVE-2016-1030)
 - A use-after-free error exists, which may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.  No further details have been provided by the vendor.(CVE-2016-1031)
