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 18.0.0.232. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An unspecified stack corruption issue exists that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-5567, CVE-2015-5579)

- A vector length corruption issue exists that allows a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact.
(CVE-2015-5568)

- A use-after-free error exists in an unspecified component due to improperly sanitized user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file, to deference already freed memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5570, CVE-2015-5574, CVE-2015-5581, CVE-2015-5584, CVE-2015-6682)

- An unspecified flaw exists due to a failure to reject content from vulnerable JSONP callback APIs. A remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact.
(CVE-2015-5571)

- An unspecified flaw exists that allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions and gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2015-5572)

- An unspecified type confusion flaw exists that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2015-5573)

- A flaw exists in an unspecified component due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling a specially crafted file. A remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5575, CVE-2015-5577, CVE-2015-5578, CVE-2015-5580, CVE-2015-5582, CVE-2015-5588, CVE-2015-6677)

- A memory leak issue exists that allows a remote attacker to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-5576)

- A stack buffer overflow condition exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5587)

- An unspecified overflow condition exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-6676, CVE-2015-6678)

- An unspecified flaw exists that allows a remote attacker to bypass same-origin policy restrictions and gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2015-6679)

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 19.0.0.185 or later.
