Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is equal or prior to version 18.0.0.194. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that allows an attacker to guess the address for the Flash heap. (CVE-2015-3097)

 - Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist that allow arbitrary code execution.
 (CVE-2015-3135, CVE-2015-4432, CVE-2015-5118)

 - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist that allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-3117, CVE-2015-3123, CVE-2015-3130, CVE-2015-3133, CVE-2015-3134, CVE-2015-4431)

 - Multiple NULL pointer dereference flaws exist.
 (CVE-2015-3126, CVE-2015-4429)

 - A security bypass vulnerability exists that results in an information disclosure. (CVE-2015-3114)

 - A memory corruption issue exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5124)
