Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a browser plugin that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Windows host is equal or prior to version 16.0.0.305. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist due to not properly validating user input, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0332, CVE-2015-0333, CVE-2015-0335, CVE-2015-0339)

 - Multiple type confusions flaws exist, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0334, CVE-2015-0336)

 - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass cross-domain policy. (CVE-2015-0337)

 - An integer overflow condition exists due to not properly validating user input, which an attacker can exploit to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0338)

 - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to bypass restrictions and upload arbitrary files.
 (CVE-2015-0340)

 - Multiple use-after-free errors exist that can allow an attacker to deference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0341, CVE-2015-0342)

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 17.0.0.134 or later.

Alternatively, Adobe has made version 13.0.0.277 available for those installations that cannot be upgraded to 17.x.
