Adobe Flash Player versions 25.0.0.171 and earlier have an exploitable use after free vulnerability in the Primetime SDK functionality related to the profile metadata of the media stream. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201707-15 (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 bypass security restrictions.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Adobe Flash Player prior to 26.0.0.126 are unpatched, and therefore affected by the following RCE vulnerabilities :

 - A use-after-free error exists in the XML Load method. The issue is triggered when handling XML objects. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3075)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3076, CVE-2017-3077, CVE-2017-3078, CVE-2017-3079)
 - A use-after-free error exists that may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. No further details have been provided. (CVE-2017-3081)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as LocaleID determinePreferredLocales metadata objects are not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3082)
 - A use-after-free error exists during profile object handling. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3083)
 - A use-after-free error exists during the cloning of AuditudeSettings objects. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-3084)

Adobe reports :

- These updates resolve use-after-free vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2017-3075, CVE-2017-3081, CVE-2017-3083, CVE-2017-3084).

- These updates resolve memory corruption vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2017-3076, CVE-2017-3077, CVE-2017-3078, CVE-2017-3079, CVE-2017-3082).

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1439 advisory.

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

    This update upgrades Flash Player to version 26.0.0.126.

    Security Fix(es):

    * This update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player. These vulnerabilities, detailed in the     Adobe Security Bulletin listed in the References section, could allow an attacker to create a specially     crafted SWF file that would cause flash-plugin to crash, execute arbitrary code, or disclose sensitive     information when the victim loaded a page containing the malicious SWF content. (CVE-2017-3075,     CVE-2017-3076, CVE-2017-3077, CVE-2017-3078, CVE-2017-3079, CVE-2017-3081, CVE-2017-3082, CVE-2017-3083,     CVE-2017-3084)

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 Windows host is missing security update KB4022730. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-3075, CVE-2017-3081, CVE-2017-3083,     CVE-2017-3084)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-3076, CVE-2017-3077, CVE-2017-3078,     CVE-2017-3079, CVE-2017-3082)

The version of Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is equal or prior to version 25.0.0.171. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-3075, CVE-2017-3081, CVE-2017-3083,     CVE-2017-3084)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2017-3076, CVE-2017-3077, CVE-2017-3078,     CVE-2017-3079, CVE-2017-3082)
