Synopsis

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

Description

According to its version, the Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X 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.
