KB4580325: Security update for Adobe Flash Player (October 2020)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141493

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a browser plugin installed that is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote Windows host is missing security update KB4580325. It is, therefore, affected by a NULL pointer dereference flaw. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by inserting malicious strings in an HTTP response that is by default delivered over TLS/SSL.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Microsoft has released KB4580325 to address this issue.
