Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser plugin that is affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host contains a version of Adobe's Shockwave Player that is prior to or equal to 12.0.7.148. It is, therefore, potentially affected by two unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities. A remote attacker could exploit these issues by tricking a user into viewing a malicious Shockwave file, resulting in arbitrary code execution.
