Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 11.2.202.626, 18.0.0.360, or 22.0.0.192 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified race condition vulnerability may allow a context-dependent attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-4247)
 - Multiple unspecified type confusion flaws may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2016-4223, CVE-2016-4224, CVE-2016-4225)
 - Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. No further details have been provided.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201607-03 (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, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain       sensitive information, or bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Windows host is missing KB3174060. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow a     remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
