Description

The version of Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is equal or prior to 21.0.0.226. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple type confusion errors exist that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1105, CVE-2016-4117)

 - Multiple use-after-free errors exist that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1097, CVE-2016-1106, CVE-2016-1107, CVE-2016-1108, CVE-2016-1109, CVE-2016-1110, CVE-2016-4108, CVE-2016-4110, CVE-2016-4121)

 - A heap buffer overflow condition exists that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1101)

 - An unspecified buffer overflow exists that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1103)

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-1096, CVE-2016-1098, CVE-2016-1099, CVE-2016-1100, CVE-2016-1102, CVE-2016-1104, CVE-2016-4109, CVE-2016-4111, CVE-2016-4112, CVE-2016-4113, CVE-2016-4114, CVE-2016-4115, CVE-2016-4120, CVE-2016-4160, CVE-2016-4161, CVE-2016-4162, CVE-2016-4163)
