Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host contains a web browser plugin that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Mac OS X host contains a version of Adobe Shockwave Player that is equal to or prior than 11.6.7.637. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Several unspecified errors exist that can lead to buffer overflow vulnerabilities and possible code execution. (CVE-2012-4172, CVE-2012-4173, CVE-2012-4174, CVE-2012-4175, CVE-2012-5273)

 - An array out-of-bounds error exists that allows code execution. (CVE-2012-4176)

A remote attacker can exploit these issues by tricking a user into viewing a malicious Shockwave file, resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6.8.638 or later.
