Flash Player Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB07-12)

high Nessus Plugin ID 25694

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a browser plugin that is affected by multiple issues.

Description

According to its version number, the instance of Flash Player on the remote Windows host could allow for arbitrary code execution by means of a malicious SWF file.

In addition, it may also fail to sufficiently validate the HTTP Referer header, which may aid in cross-site request forgery attacks. This issue does not, though, affect Flash Player 9.

Solution

Upgrade to Flash Player version 9.0.47.0 / 8.0.35.0 / 7.0.70.0 or later.
